Andy Gray and Richard Keys return to airwaves

ANDY Gray and Richard Keys have made their radio debut - but failed to mention the sexism row that led to them leaving Sky Sports.

The pair, who will present a regular show on talkSPORT between 10am and 1pm, did not take calls from the public and instead spoke to a succession of managers, players and former players, including Dion Dublin and Jamie Carragher.

They appeared briefly on Alan Brazil's breakfast show before their own show began. ?Keys told Brazil he was looking forward to the show, saying: "I can have an opinion, rather than just ask questions."

Talking about his new bosses, he said: "They've let the genie out of the bottle." Gray told Keys it was "nice to be back working, talking about football again".

They were joined in the studio by former Chelsea coach Ray Wilkins and talkSPORT presenter Sam Matterface.

Keys resigned and Gray was fired from Sky Sports following a series of incidents.

The pair believed their microphones were switched off when they were heard questioning whether assistant referee Sian Massey knew the offside rule.

Gray was then sacked after footage posted on YouTube showed him asking a female colleague to help him tuck his microphone into his trousers.

More footage emerged later in which Keys appeared to speak in lewd terms about a former girlfriend of pundit Jamie Redknapp.
