Former Hammer Tony Cottee has revealed he has been let go from Sky Sports after twenty years in the job
TC posted on social media tonight “After 20 years at Sky Sports, today I was told that I will no longer be on the Soccer Saturday show. I’ve got fantastic memories and had lots of laughs but it’s now time for me to move on and see what the future will bring. It was a privilege to be a part of such a great team. I’d like to thank everyone I’ve worked with at Soccer Saturday in that time and a special thanks to all the cameramen and backroom staff who have looked after me so well … Perhaps there won’t be so many 0-0’s now ….?!!”
