BBC England World Cup pundit found out dad had died moments before live broadcast
Micah Richards learned of his father Lincoln’s unexpected death just before going on air for the BBC’s coverage of England’s World Cup semi-final against Argentina but continued with the broadcast, later paying tribute in an Instagram post. Public figures including Jamie Carragher sent messages of support. Despite England’s 2-1 defeat, manager Thomas Tuchel retains the Football Association’s backing and is expected to lead the team into Euro 2028 after signing a contract extension earlier in the year.
