Micah Richards suffers awkward Match of the Day wardrobe malfunction as BBC pundit admits ‘I couldn’t move’

MICAH RICHARDS has admitted he “couldn’t move” after suffering a wardrobe malfunction.

The BBC pundit was on duty on Match of Day with Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer on Saturday night.

However, Richards was not the most comfortable as he had a problem with his top.

The former Manchester City defender had a hole in the garment, which left him unable to move during filming.

Speaking on The Rest is Football podcast, he said: “Basically, I went to my dressing room, well, more of a changing room.

“I have put on my spray and my gear, and it looks fantastic if I say so.

“As I get to the studio, I see Alan (Shearer) grinning, and he said, ‘You have got a hole in my top’.

“I thought he was pulling my leg, and he said, ‘No, I am being serious,’ and I pull it up, and I have a massive hole.

“I couldn’t move, I was so self-conscious it was horrible.”

Shearer joked that he was like the Marvel superhero, the Incredible Hulk.

Lineker admitted that he noticed that the malfunction had an effect on Richards during filming.

The former England and Barcelona star insisted that, as a result, the pundit had to reduce his usual mannerisms so as not to reveal the hole.

Richards’ former club Man City are also suffering from problems themselves.

The reigning champions have lost four games in a row under Pep Guardiola – the first time in his career.

The latest defeat came at the hands of Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex on Saturday.

Erling Haaland had given the visitors the lead before Joao Pedro and Matt O’Riley made it a comeback victory for the hosts.

The defeat leaves the Citizens 2nd in the Premier League table, five points off the pace of leader Liverpool.
