Martin Tyler has accepted Liverpool's invite and will head to Anfield for meetings with club officials at which he will 'show his continued support' after his remarks over the Hillsborough disaster triggered criticism and a subsequent apology.
The veteran Sky Sports broadcaster was said to be 'absolutely devastated' when he made what he feels was a clumsy mistake when being interviewed on BBC Radio Four to mark the 30th anniversary of the Premier League.
Tyler told the Today programme that at the time of the competition's launch in 1992 'football was in a bit of a crisis', adding: 'We weren't that long after Hillsborough and other hooligan-related issues as well, so it was very much a difficult time for the game generally.
