Trevor Sinclair returns to BBC after racial offence charge

Trevor Sinclair

Former England footballer Trevor Sinclair returned to BBC Sport this weekend – a year after being dropped as a pundit for racially abusing a police officer who had arrested him for drink-driving.

Sinclair, 45, appeared on the FA Cup Final Score programme on BBC One and later tweeted: “Very grateful to be invited back to the bbc sport team today, made mistakes, accepted responsibility & criticism. Apologize for letting myself down. Trying to be a better person.”

In January, the BBC ditched the former Manchester City winger after he was sentenced to 150 hours of community service and given a 20-month driving ban by Blackpool magistrates court.
