Live on Stage

Richard Keys (Host)
Richard Keys has presented more live football than any other broadcaster on British television. When Liverpool met Newcastle United in March 2002, Richard presided over his 1000th live game in all competitions for Sky, an unprecedented figure stretching back to the birth of Sky Sports and the first ever live game - Rangers vs Dundee United in April 1991. Richard currently presents a range of top level live football on Sky Sports including matches form the Barclays Premier League and UEFA Champions League. Richard joined Sky as one of three original presenters in April 1991 after a spell with BSB and eight years in terrestrial television with TV-am, C4 and the BBC. His career began in print journalism, at the Wolverhampton Chronicle followed by the famous Hayters Sports Agency in Fleet Street. His move into television came with TV-am in 1983, following several years at Liverpool’s City Radio and Manchester’s Piccadilly Radio. Away from football he has presented a range of other sports for Sky including the 1997 Ryder Cup. His longest live period in front of the camera came in November ’96 when, over 18 hours, he was host for England’s World Cup match with Georgia followed by four world title fights in Judgement Night including Evander Holyfield’s first victory over Mike Tyson.
