Robbie Savage's heartwarming gesture to BBC staff who missed pay amid Gary Lineker row

Robbie Savage has offered to reimburse production staff who will not be paid after Six-0-Six was cancelled during the Linekergate crisis.

Two editions of the award-winning BBC Radio 5 Live phone-in were called off last weekend as the corporation's sports programmes were hit by a boycott in support of suspended Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker.

And as Lineker returns to our screens on Saturday evening, anchoring the Beeb's live FA Cup quarter-final coverage of Manchester City v Burnley, Mirror Football can reveal Savage's big-hearted gesture to eight backroom staff who work on Six-0-Six. He is proposing to make sure producers who filter the calls and put the show together are not left out of pocket.
