Thought his brother was also cited. As a result of that Whisky Nose didn't appear on or give an interview to the BBC, match of the day etc, for a number of years. Spiteful so and so.

Hadn't realised it was 7 years.
It's not a case if I would give interviews or not, Fergie and Man Utd were contractually obliged to give interviews to match of the day and other BBC football programmes, they decided break the contract and were fined accordingly.

Fined accordingly 
Ferguson immediately made it clear he would not comply, no matter how much he would be fined. The tariff was initially set at £1,000 per match, escalating as the season went on. By now, it could feasibly have been more than £100,000.
As it turned out, Ferguson was not fined a penny because, before the Premier League had decided the exact structure, the BBC asked them to delay the punishments, with Thompson indicating he would become personally involved if a meeting could be set up.
