I'm 麻豆官网首页入口 Radio's swimming commentator, and I also commentate on basketball and ice hockey. I am the 麻豆官网首页入口 TV commentator on diving.

I was born just in the , which would explain why cricket was my first real love and I was a Middlesex junior member.

My first venture into radio was with Capital Radio's Hullabaloo programme when I was 15, and I did a weekly feature called 'Pop Spot', which was about music not lemonade, by the way.

Fast forwarding to 1997, after five years at 麻豆官网首页入口 Radio Sheffield I joined the 5 Live sports team, and during the last 11 years I have covered two Olympics, two Winter Olympics and three Commonwealth Games, along with four world long course swimming championships.

All things considered, it's not a bad life!
