Be sure to buy my book, "Theres an awful lot of BUBBLY in Brazil", co-written by Mike Parry from all good stockists and that Amazon.co.uk internet thingy
Alan Bernard Brazil (born June 15, 1959 in Sinshill, Glasgow) is a former Scottish football player. He was a forward.
Alan started his career with Ipswich Town in 1977. He stayed with Town till 1983, appearing a total of 210 times, and scoring 80 goals.
He then moved to Tottenham Hotspur in March 1983 for the season, making 31 appearances, and scoring 9 times.
In June 1984 he joined Manchester United for a fee of 625,000. He stayed with United for two seasons, making a total of 41 appearances in the league, the League Cup, the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup. He scored 12 goals whilst with them.
He also 13 appearances for the Scottish national team, the most notable of which saw him playing in the World Cup finals in Spain.
His career was cut short at the age of 27 due to a serious back injury that could have seen him ending up in a wheelchair if he continued playing football in the top-flight.
These days, Alan Brazil can be heard presenting talkSPORT's weekday Sports Breakfast with Graham Beecroft. The show has been such a hit that it has been named the 'Alan Brazil Breakfast Show'.
One of his friends at TalkSport Towers is the undisputed champion of truth and ridiculed pronouncer of subjects - MR MIKE PARRY
He is also a big fan of horse racing and, in 2003, formed the Alan Brazil Racing Club. Alans local course is the Point-to-Point course at Heighham in Suffolk. Alan Commutes from Suffolk to London everyday in his Lexus.
Although his programme is a sporting one, his views tend to be to the right of centre when he does express them. He considers homosexuality to be wrong, and suggested that the 2005 French riots should be curbed by the police adopting a shoot to kill policy.
Alan is well known for living life to the fullhe eats, drinks and gambles to excess, and is particularly fond of doing these things as part of freebies. It is this enthusiasm for life that has led to him becoming such a popular presenter.
Alan has several catchphrases the most common being "Why" which is often said in quick repetition. On hearing a location Alan will usually say "I've never been" or "beautiful" depending on whether or not he has visited it.
Alan was famously sacked in 2004, after the Breakfast Show was broadcast at the Cheltenham Festival, from Tuesday to Thursday. Alan enjoyed himself too much and missed the Friday show. Alan was reinstated after a huge uproar from talkSPORT listeners. His several week absence was explained as due to him being lost in beer tent. As a caveat to his reinstatement, Brazil must now pay a 5000 fine for every show he misses.
HERE'S THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE REMATCH BETWEEN BREAKFAST & DRIVE WHICH WAS PLAYED AT HATFIELDS (SE1) ON FRIDAY 27th APRIL 2007.
- THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT ATTENDED.
Energy giant E. On has submitted plans to build a "green" power station on the site of Sheffield's famous Tinsley Towers after they are demolished. The biomass facility would be developed at Blackburn Meadows next to the M1 at a cost of £60m.
The renewable energy plant would produce enough power for about 40,000 homes by burning recycled wood and crops like willow and elephant grass.
If the scheme is approved, construction is expected to start early in 2009.
The first power would be produced in 2011.
No date has yet been set for the demolition of the 250ft (76m) cooling towers.
