About me:
I am the co-host of the Weekend Sports Breakfast with Andy Townsend on talkSPORT.
I went to the The King's School, Chester, and then Nottingham Trent University. After this i became a jounalist, usually working for tabloid newspapers. I am a avid Everton fan, and particulary love Wayne Rooney.
I suffered health problems due to being severely overweight, and was awaiting a heart transplant in September 2004. [1] My health has subsequently improved through a combination of successful drug treatment and living a healthy lifestyle. Im now back on the airwaves, in a slimmed down form, and no longer drink as much.
I originally co-presented the Sports Breakfast with Alan Brazil, but after the onset of my health problems, was replaced by Graham Beecroft. As my health improved i gained my doctor's permission to co-present The Game with Paul Breen-Turner and subsequently the weekday morning show with Ian Collins. I now present the weekend breakfast show with former footballer Andy Townsend.
One of the first programmes on which i gained notoriety, was prior to Wimbledon, where i claimed that i would swim the Channel if Tim Henman won Wimbeldon. Fortuntely i was spared this by Tim falling out of the competition. Its been said that i will mispronounce or misuse a word/name, or explain matter-of-factly something that is utterly absurd, for comedic value. Some of my theories have included golf not being a sport, that football goals should be bigger as people are bigger now than in Victorian times and that Wayne Rooney is as intelligent as Einstein. At one point i suggested that Cricketer Darren Gough should not be allowed to play for England as his mindset had become too effeminate after appearing on Strictly Come Dancing. In another moment of inspiration i argued that race horses should be fitted with wing mirrors. The most notable of my recent bloopers was when i was discussing eating peanuts in a pub. I said he always asks the publican:"what sort of peanuts do you sell here?" But, unfortunately for Me, it sounded like:'what sort of penis do you sell here?"
However, occasionally i show that i really does know what im talking about. An example of this is my prediction that Rooney would become one of the worlds greatest players when Wayne was very young. At the time this seemed like one of My nonsensical rants but it has been almost scarily accurate.
Towards the end of 2005, I began using what is now my catchphrase, "That's a bit harsh". This is in response to the jibes of my colleagues or callers, who might refer to me as a 'Ginger Tube' or worse, a 'Porky Welsh Numpty'. One even responded to my criticisms of cyclists with the comment"criminally unfunny lardy man with a predilection for too much cake; essentially superfluous addition to the human race. Im also Famous for being unable to differentiate between lady on a brompton and four-times tour winner, Lance Armstrong."
I live in Stockbroker belt surrey, and have several other Houses in my Portfolio. Im a great animal lover and regularly feeds the local swans and their cygnets.
I also know theres not a hetrosexual bone in my body, after the kissing a man in bed thinking it was a woman incident....or somthing
