Long-time newsreader at @BBCEssex 📻📻 Former long-time Southend United football commentator ⚽️⚽️

FYI -

After 35 years of reporting from and commentating on Southend United matches, I’ve decided to step down from the role at the end of this season.

Although this is entirely my decision, I shall miss commentating on the Blues' matches terribly.
