Micah Richards broke the 'golden rule' of broadcasting in an awkward moment during his Euro 2024 punditry, which prompted Gary Lineker to set the record straight
Micah Richards thought he had broken the ‘golden rule’ of broadcasting while covering Euro 2024 for the BBC - until Gary Lineker put his fears to rest.

Richards then nervously admitted it was during punditry work for "another broadcaster".READ MORE: 'Magical' - Liverpool have Gary Lineker seal of approval for potential Mohamed Salah replacement
The presenter added: "When you said 'I worked with him', I was thinking 'Christ, which club did Micah work with him for?’" before Shearer chimed in with: "You can say what you want man, you're the biggest pundit now on the BBC!” The trio went on to discuss Martinez's management of Cristiano Ronaldo during the important clash with Slovenia, where Ronaldo was at the centre of attention for all the wrong reasons. The 39-year-old captain had a difficult night, fluffing several free-kicks, missing a penalty in extra time and shedding tears on the pitch, only to later score from the spot during the shootout.
