On the BBC2 FA Cup highlights just now. Always loved coming to Oakwell, likes the club, watches out for us.
Even now he'd be a better goal threat for us. Random to find out what he said. You just wouldn't think it as he's no links up here.
Yes, all that, plus cueing presenter and telling him cameras, running the VT inserts (titles, match edits, analysis), cueing graphics etc.
Directing for about 8 years now. Left BBC after 33 years last March but still freelance for them. Mainly football: Footy Focus, Final Score, MOTD, but also done a load of Olympics, cycling, tennis, major event stuff....
No, first one I've missed since 1998. Honestly not that bothered - no huge desire to do this one. Most of the operation is back in Salford anyway; only a handful of folk going out. Doing FA Cup stuff again for round 2 while everyone's on the World Cup. Be nice to just watch the games this time.
It sounds fascinating mate, I would venture there are some good anecdotes locked away in your head from over the years, perhaps a book or a podcast might be on the cards? I'd certainly be interested to read/listen to them.
He's a big Birmingham City fan. Maybe those two hammerings they got.on home soil have stuck in his memory.
Weren't funny when he kicked s41t out of a defenceless student , ( and finished up with jail time. Served 3 months. Of a 10 month sentence). Kicking him in the head repeatedly. His excuse. He was depressed over the death of his dad. At the time. Yeh, we all think of doing that when depressed over a death in the family, ffs.
