Richard Keys bucks trend as he wades in on football ban after Queen's death

Former Sky Sports anchor Richard Keys believes football authorities made the correct decision to postpone fixtures following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Her Majesty passed away at her Balmoral residence on Thursday, aged 96. In response, all professional and grassroots matches were postponed out of respect. “At a meeting this morning, Premier League clubs paid tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,” a statement from top-flight bosses read on Friday.

“To honour her extraordinary life and contribution to the nation, and as a mark of respect, this weekend’s Premier League match round will be postponed, including Monday evening’s game.”
