This was great fun to be involved in - despite having to tell the story of a terribly butchered line in my first ever radio gig way back when 🙈

Absolutely thrilled for all involved 🥳 A joy to see so much jubilation at Pride Park - even more poignant considering those recent dark days. From the brink of extinction to the scenes of today - what a journey it’s been!

Forgive the self-indulgence - but something of a commentary childhood dream fulfilled today 🙏😍

Lovely to see so many familiar faces at this place again - thoroughly enjoyed standing in on the old stamping ground and nice to see a win!

Done! 🥵 Great event, amazing support and a brilliant day raising money for a wonderful charity @HCC_UCLH

Start line ready 😁 @RoyalParksHalf @HCC_UCLH

Dad had been a patient at UCLH for many years and always spoke so highly of the team, the facilities and the care. So here’s to them, to Dad, to all the brilliant work by unsung heroes in the NHS, and to schlepping 13 miles around London! https://t.co/Hppptp5zDA

Hello - long time no tweet👋😆 A group of us are running the Royal Parks half in London on Sunday, raising money for the Haematology Cancer Care Charity. Our lives changed in April when our Dad was diagnosed with an aggressive lymphoma and passed away just 14 days later (1/2)

Drizzly in Stevenage for a Hertfordshire clash in the League Cup 🏆 Watford make the short trip fresh from their big Championship win over QPR. Always enjoy the early cup rounds - @5liveSport around the grounds this evening ⚽️

🔴🔵 Intriguing game to end the opening weekend of Championship fixtures! Sunderland go again after making playoffs; Ipswich heavily fancied to have a good season following promotion. Should be a good game this - updates into @5liveSport ⚽️

Both sides easing into the new season after a goalless first half here at the Riverside - nice to be back at it! ⚽️

Ending the season at Old Trafford for Manchester United v Fulham ⚽️ Alongside former Wales international Sam Ricketts for commentary on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and @BBCSounds Utd aiming to secure 3rd / Fulham guaranteed top 10 (granted there’s a tad more jeopardy elsewhere…)

Another special playoff semi-final night ahead at the Riverside! ⚽️ Middlesbrough and Coventry level at 0-0 from the first leg - winners to play Luton for a place in the Premier League Updates into that other big game tonight on @5liveSport

Fitting an astonishing National League season had a game like that to end. Bostock channeling his inner Kermorgant (😳) but didn’t cost them, unlike the latter! Have to feel pleased for Notts but sad for Chesterfield given what happened - but still - remarkable match!

Gareth Bale saying goodbye to Wales in faint drizzle before a Euro Qualifier is probably not the final farewell he deserved 😢 Important game for @Cymru - need to back up that excellent Croatia draw with victory over Latvia 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Updates into 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇸 on @5liveSport

An earlier picture when some fans were around and having fun would have been better - but what a belter of a game! Proper from start to finish 👏 Barnsley look very impressive - that top-two battle could get very tasty…..

and stories. Basically it was incredible! Never meet your idols etc - but jeez that really was the exception. An afternoon I’ll always remember very fondly.

study which blew my mind - exactly as you’d expect, bursting with old programmes, notes, memorabilia - and talked so enthusiastically about every memory. He recorded the lines meticulously, making sure each one was perfect and how we wanted it. All interspersed with anecdotes..

recording studio and we’d be told to wait in the hall, hand in what we wanted recording, and “his people would send it on”. Obviously none of this happened - he couldn’t have been more welcoming. Greeted us like long lost friends, tea and coffee on tap, showed us around his….

“Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats as the ceremony is about to begin” was hardly going to be the groundbreaking moment of his career. Remember walking up to the door and thinking, for some absurd reason, we wouldn’t even see him - that he’d have some secret…..
