Alex Scott is one of the stars tipped to take Gary Lineker‘s place as the host of BBC’s popular football show Match of the Day. But fans have a lot to say about it.
Reports confirmed that Gary will be exiting the flagship football programme after 25 years. While his replacement is yet to be made official, Alex has become the centre of social media discussion for all the wrong reasons.
While very few strongly opinionated fans argue that Alex “isn’t a great presenter,” others seem to find issues with her being a woman. Sadly, they believe a female host can’t do justice to the show.
Alex Scott tipped for Match of the Day
For the unversed, Alex is a former professional football player-turned-broadcaster. She started to appear before the camera following her retirement from international football in 2017.
Born in London, the 40-year-old mostly played for Arsenal in the FA WSL. She represented Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
