The BBC has been hit with an influx of complaints over veteran football commentator Martin Tyler's "crass" Hillsborough comments.
The Sky Sports commentator appeared on BBC Radio Four's Today programme shortly before 9am today speaking about 30 years of the Premier League. But listeners were infuriated by Mr Tyler's comments about Hillsborough after he associated the tragic events, found by an inquest jury in 2016 to have been the result of unlawful killing, with "other hooligan related issues".
Mr Tyler said the Premier League came "not too long after Hillsborough and other hooliganism related issues". Liverpool Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram was quick to condemn the comments, branding them "crass".
