Marsh replied as her husband came down the stairs, “Ella and I sang the lyrics to the tune.” “And I didn’t see that the song was inspired by the Match Of The Day song.
Mr Marsh added that after he sent his text, he got a text back from below that read: “The lyrics look great but what’s the tune? Some of the lyrics include: “We all just watched a chicken game on the BBC / They kicked Lineker with no apology” and “They backed into a corner and tried to park the bus.”. Ms Marsh added that after learning of the BBC’s decision regarding Lineker at 5pm on Friday, she told her husband, who had been missing for a while, and then sent a text with texts. The ex-footballer was embroiled in a dispute over impartiality after a tweet in which he compared the language used to introduce a new government asylum policy to 1930s Germany. “But we felt it was worth saying something about what’s happening internally.” “We thought it was overkill anyway,” said Mr Marsh, who lives with his family in Faversham, Kent. Mr Marsh told the PA news agency that the BBC’s decision to ask Lineker to step down from presenting Match Of The Day (MOTD) on Friday night acted as a “trigger” for the song.

The video, which was uploaded to Twitter Friday night and has more than 600,000 views and over 12,000 likes, features Ella playing trumpet, Alfie on bass, Thomas on drums, Tess on triangle and Mr. 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 using the hashtag #IStandWithGary. A family who wrote a viral song that uses the tune “Match Of The Day” to show solidarity with Gary Lineker hopes it sparks “worthwhile” discussions about impartiality.
