Working Lives: Football Commentator
Football has taken you around the world. Is it a good life?
I’ve worked on all five continents and I love it. But you need the work to keep coming in. Like many in the TV industry, I’m freelance and have been for 30 years. Covid, when there was no live sport for five months, was a challenging time financially.
How did you get started in TV?
I started on the Sky News sports desk in 1994, having worked in local radio and what was then BBC Radio 5.
What was the first match you commentated on for TV?
