Football commentator and journalist at BBC Radio London.
People saying that Tamworth had a better chance in extra time rather than in a lucrative replay have clearly never watched their team give every last drop of physical and mental energy for 90 minutes against a higher-level team and then watch them crumble in the extra 30.

Doing Saturday afternoon on #facup 3rd round day on Radio London used to be one of the great challenges. Frantic activity, upsets, goals, great stories everywhere. Today’s commentary starts at 2, 2 more cup ties at 3, one in League Two, Orient at 6, loads tomorrow. Magic huh.

Lots of lovely tributes to Johnnie Walker. I first heard him on the old Radio 5 doing the AM Alternative. I sometimes feel the old Radio 5 was so fleeting I almost imagined it. And yet it ignited a love for radio in me. It’s memory is a little fainter today. RIP Johnnie.

I’ve bought a packet of mini eggs, laughed at the date, balked at the price, wondered what I’m doing with my life and then opened the packet and the smell is just glorious.

Last commentary of 2024 for me today at Spurs v Wolves. Many thanks for listening to @bbclondonsport over the year. Your support is most welcome. Happy new year to you all and let’s do it again in 2025!

Neil Harris was so happy to be back when he returned to Millwall. Spoke movingly about what the club means to him.

The fact he's gone after doing a remarkable job makes it more mystifying and, I imagine, upsetting for him.

They have very little manoeuvre in their next appointment

West Ham players out to warm up here with ‘Antonio 9’ on the back. These tops will be signed by all the players and then auctioned off with funds raised going to the NHS and Air Ambulance UK

Will Hughes is having an extraordinarily effective game for Crystal Palace

This might look cosy.

I can assure you it’s not.

Blowy, wet and cold for @bbclondonsport live at Selhurst. #cpfc v #mcfc is live from 3 on BBC Radio London FM, DAB and @bbcsounds with me and @pmorts. Notebook gusting up to demonstrate conditions

It would be helpful to hear an articulate defence of the ludicrous kick off times/dates in the FA Cup 3rd round. I presume it has to do with money. Then we could all think hard and decide if it’s worth the hassle.

A rare sight this season. #cpfc players celebrating with their travelling fans. A huge win.

This feels like a proper occasion. Ipswich v Crystal Palace has a great deal riding on it. On BBC Radio London very soon.
December 3, 2024 at 7:13 PM
At Portman Road for a ruddy big game. #itfc v #cpfc on BBC Radio London from 7
December 3, 2024 at 5:33 PM
Football at Ipswich this evening. Feels like a ‘two pairs of socks’ day.

Daniel Munoz has never, I’m certain, had three presentable chances to score in a game of football. And yet today he missed one with his left, missed one with his right, and scored a header. Football is mad

Attempting to focus on Newcastle’s training top is making me feel a bit unwell.
November 30, 2024 at 2:48 PM
The madnes of this time year beautifully illustrated by the sheer number of kick off times on my crib sheet/plug sheet for today and the week. 11.30, 12.30, 5.30, 7.15, 7.30, 8.15, 1.30 (shown as 1pm as that’s when coverage starts). All other games kick off at 3. I think…..

Pillars, wires, big roof. Must be Selhurst.

Billy the Brewer is suitably unsettling in the great tradition of eccentric football mascots

Burton.
November 26, 2024 at 7:12 PM
Tonight it’s a bit of a League One and Two special on @bbclondonsport with commentary from Charlton at Burton plus the latest from Orient, Wimbledon and Bromley. Also, added Sutton coverage too. All from 7 on Digital Radio. @sammyparkin_ will be with me. Wrap up warm

🚨 Fulham fans on Bluesky! Would love opinions for my Spurs programme article on the following:

• Coping without Palhinha
• Impact of the new signings
• The Wolves game

Any help appreciated, thanks!

It’s a sorry state of affairs when you stagger, layered up, onto public transport, glaring at the sun beating down, suppressing the urge to shout WHERE WILL YOU BE AT 10.30 TONIGHT IN AN EMPTY FOOTBALL GROUND HUH?
