A family who have penned a viral song which makes use of the Match Of The Day tune to stand in solidarity with Gary Lineker hope it generates “worthwhile” discussions about impartiality.
History lecturer Ben Marsh, 46, his wife Danielle, 45, an administrator, and their children – Alfie, 16, Thomas, 15, Ella, 13, and Tess, 11 – posted a video of their song to Twitter on Friday, with the hashtag #IStandWithGary.
The video – which was uploaded to Twitter on Friday night and has more than 600,000 views and over 12,000 likes – sees Ella playing the trumpet, Alfie, the bass, Thomas, the drum, Tess the triangle and Mr Marsh playing the guitar; while most of the group sing the lyrics, including their Alaskan Shepherd Monty.
