Avoiding proper work since 1985. Sports commentator/broadcaster. Watford FC & Surrey CC. Music snob.

@sportingintel I was also at Live Aid, Nick. Also once saw Simple Minds third on the bill at The Lyceum behind The Only Ones and Martha & the Muffins.

@RookeryMike I saw the Stones at Wembley in 1982.

@talkdants Been saying this for years, Dants. Absolute tosh. They might as well be shouting:

"Who do you think will win the League Two Play-Off, Prime Minister?"
Or "Home Secretary, what's your favourite Bob Dylan album?"

@SteveBowercomm Remember the samba party by the lagoon?

Look where I was last night.

My early prediction for the 2026-27 @EFL season, @WatfordFC to finish 9th.

@johncrossmirror A great character and a font of dry wit. I'll never forget his succint appraisal of England's opening defeat by Portugal at Euro 2000: "it was like a pantomine horse....but with only the front legs".

@stuartpykesport @OfficialOAFC I remember seeing you at that one. I arrived 15 minutes after KO following train nightmare but didn't miss a goal. Le Tiss hat trick to no avail.

@fredfertang I saw him put one onto the railway line while playing for Worcestershire against Surrey at Woodbridge Road in the 1980s.

@androofrench I was listening to Radio 2 on the car radio parked in Portsmouth town centre and heard the update. My first reaction was that the reporter must have got the wrong name.

@adrianjclarke Same old Arsenal, always cheating.

[John Anderson @GreatFaceRadio]

@Hutchywutch We call Screech Todd Flanders.

[John Anderson @GreatFaceRadio]

@Adam_Drury1 Magnificent. And with former Hornet Darren Bazeley, now NZ manager, looking on.

[John Anderson @GreatFaceRadio]

This simply must be heard at The Vic soon. Have shown it to a mate who covers Australian sport in the UK and he wants to use it in a piece.

Neck on the line here. Nestory Irankuna chant:

He comes from a land down under
Nestory Irankunda
He’s got a right foot like thunder
He’s scoring one, he’s scoring another

@JacquiOatley @AlexGreenwood Her penalty, though not much discussed, was an absolutely vital one, after Patri had put Spain into an early lead in the shootout. Steadied the ship.

[John Anderson @GreatFaceRadio]

@IanRidley1 A better tournament manager than Southgate and superior to Capello, Hodgson, Keegan, McLaren and Taylor IMHO.

[John Anderson @GreatFaceRadio]

#Lionesses seem to be better managed, more motivated and possess far greater resilience than their #ENG male counterparts. They also seem to enjoy everything a lot more.

@scottjfield If you need shelter and a beer, there's a great bar called Kubryk a short walk from the town centre.

[John Anderson @GreatFaceRadio]

@ClassicshirtCDF None of the above. But I did have a drink with Kerry King once in a hotel bar in Montreal and he was a very nice chap.
