LONDON, March 19 — Gary Lineker was back at work for the BBC on Saturday after a row over impartiality sparked by his criticism of the UK government’s new asylum policy was resolved.
His removal sparked chaos across the BBC’s sporting coverage as presenters, pundits and commentators showed their backing for Lineker by refusing to work. Lineker, who is the BBC’s highest paid presenter, said “it’s great to be here” as he fronted live coverage of Manchester City’s FA Cup quarter-final against Burnley.
“I just need to clear up and say how upset we were for all the audiences that missed out last weekend,” said Shearer.
