RIP Scott Charlton - an incredible person who gave so much joy to thousands of people. An amazing friend and mentor to me, still feels very numbing to think you’re gone and we won’t have another day at the cricket. The world was lucky to have you in it - straight home no chips! RIP Scotty

Heartwarming moment on commentary with Emile Heskey last night as his son Reigan scored a classic curler in the FA Youth Cup quarter-finals! Safe to say a bit of the Heskey magic has passed down the family line! 😁 Video from @emiratesfacup.bsky.social #commentary #ManCity #football #MCFC #goal

Can Arsenal win the Women’s FA Cup for the first time in a decade? The Gunners 7th win in a row, seeing off Bristol City, sets up a home quarter-final against Brighton in April. Will this season finally bring a 15th FA CUP for #Arsenal? #AWFC #womensfootball #football youtu.be/r9Q46ye8FrA?...

The Hatters are happy! #Luton beat in-form Argyle to reach the #EFL Trophy semi-finals in my BBC Radio Devon ⚽️📺🎙️. Tom Cleverly said #Argyle were “lacklustre, humbled, second best in every area, outdone at the basics” adding re injures that “we’re not keeping our budget on the pitch enough.”

Great to make it seven years in a row doing my annual guest lecture in Liverpool, focusing on practical tips for breaking into a notoriously tough industry. Learning is always a two-way process so great to meet many talented young stars of the future! #LJMU #Liverpool #journalism #lecturing

The Men’s #SixNationsrugby starts tomorrow (Thursday night, odd, I know) as France host Ireland at the Stade de France, where La Marseillaise will ring out! Dusted off the violin for the first time in 15 years in (poor) tribute to a stirring national anthem! #violin #RugbyUnion #France #sport

QUARTER-FINAL EXTRA TIME DRAMA! 📺🎙️🇫🇷🇺🇦 France beat Ukraine 4-2 to reach the semi-finals of the futsal Euros for the first time ever after a thriller, always fun to commentate on tense and high-quality international sport with so much on the line! #sport #France #commentator #broadcasting #futsal

Love a good bit of cup drama, so it was fun to commentate on it recently as 3rd-tier Oxford United scoring three times late on to get a fourth FA Cup win this season and reach the 5th round! Loved the vibes of the subs running on too! #football #commentary #womensfootball #FACup #womenssport

A HUGE day for Latvian sport! On their futsal EUROS debut the tournament co-hosts thrashed Georgia 4-0 in Riga. Always a privilege to be on world feed UEFA 📺 commentary for a major international tournament and an unforgettable day in a country’s sporting history! #futsal #EURO #Latvia

- 20 points in 11 now for Argyle - Six wins and a draw from last seven away in all comps - Deserved 1-0 win at in-form Peterborough United in my BBC Radio Devon commentary #BBCRadioDevon #sport #football #EFL #Argyle

2025 was my 10th year as a pro sports broadcaster, not that I’m expecting a testimonial match! 😂 Commentating on the Lionesses victory parade, and shedding a few happy tears after, was epic having covered so much Women’s football - SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE went! Happy New Year! #football #sport

I wouldn’t fancy being on the judge on the Birmingham City goal of the month competition for December!!! 😂 #sport #BCFC #FACup #football #womensfootball

When you are a sports-mad 15-year-old, you’ll want to try broadcasting… It’s VERY important you pick up that microphone…

LUCK OF THE IRISH! ☘️🎙️📺⚽️ A dream Men’s U17 World Cup debut for 🇮🇪 and it’s always a dream to commentate on any World Cup! After first working with them on the 2024 Paris Olympics, great to be back with the talented team at HBS, this time on ten games for FIFA+ including THREE shoot-outs! #U17WC

How does a Champions League football commentator write out the lineups? I use different colours and formations to help map it out. Bonus points if you can guess correctly what the different shorthand pink annotations mean! #football #broadcasting #womensfootball #sport #commentary #UWCL

How does a football commentators kit actually WORK? A whistlestop tour behind-the-scenes from commentary for BBC Radio Devon at Leyton Orient, done through a netting - you never know what challenges live broadcasting will bring! 😂 #commentary #broadcasting #sport #sports #football

Have the Canaries finally found their wings? A first win in 14 for Norwich City, beating QPR 3-1 - catch the best bits from my commentary on Sky Sports Football! A first home win for Norwich since AUGUST! #NCFC #commentary #sport #EFL #football #Norwich

2025 at @yorkshireccc.bsky.social meant a LOT! From leading the white-ball Men’s and Women’s broadcasts to sharing the box with so many brilliant people. So many on-field highlights and a great crew off it! A special season, professionally and personally - a link to my grandad Ray Valente. ❤️🏏

Ethan Nwaneri is a STAR! This kid can PLAY! The 18-year-old is a joy to watch, helping England go 5/5 in EURO 2027 qualifying, winning 4-0 in Slovakia. Grateful to be trusted by the FA on England U21s commentary once again - their EUROS ‘three-peat’ is on! #sport #football #Arsenal #Nwaneri

BAD MEMORIES FOR ARSENAL AT BAYERN… A DIFFERENT STORY TONIGHT? A Pernille Harder hat-trick sunk Arsenal to a 5-2 loss at Bayern, one of the Gunners last games under Jonas Eidevall. Remarkable to think that was just over a year ago, and that under Renee Slegers WON the #UWCL! #football #Arsenal

Young baller 🚨 - SAMUELE INACIO! 🇮🇹 Four goals at this U17s World Cup, this number 10 is a natural playmaker & finisher. Already at German club Borussia Dortmund, a finishing school for top talent, it was a joy to commentate on him in full flow! #football #Italy #U17WC youtu.be/LhpkpRAVfE4?...

📺⚽️🎙️I love the unpredictability of football - 24TH plays 6TH, BATTERS THEM 5-0! 😂 A big win for Peteborough United against Blackpool in a game that genuinely could’ve finished about 6-5 based on the chances created! #football #EFL #sport

📺🎙️🇨🇦🇺🇬 Always fun and rare to commentate on history for BOTH teams! #Canada get their first U17 Men’s #WorldCup win at the TWENTY FIFTH attempt! The Canadian comeback meant Uganda’s first World Cup game at ANY level ended in heartbreak and a 2-1 loss. youtu.be/J6yWrna5hfA?... #football #Uganda

MAGIC MOMENTS… The Harder hat-trick to thrash Arsenal 5-2 last year. The Stanway comeback to beat Benfica in 2022. Maybe me commentating at this ground is the #Bayern good luck charm? 😂 📺⚽️ Join me on #UWCL world feed for #FCBayern 🇩🇪 v #Juventus 🇮🇹 x.com/DAZNFootball... #UWCL #womensfootball

BREAKING - Spurs midfielder Yves Bissouma stretchered off seconds into his competitive return for Mali. Seems to be a bad ankle injury, leaving Bissouma visibly distressed. It was his 1st competitive game since the final day of the last #PL season. #Spurs #EPL #THFC #football #CAF #Mali #sport

CAN MADAGASCAR REACH THE MEN’S WORLD CUP? 😮📺⚽️🎙️ Ranked 108th in the world but a win at Mali, Ghana losing to Comoros, and an 8-goal swing between both would be some Malagasy magic to book their spot! Join me on the world feed via the FIFA+ website! #WCQ2026 #WCQualifiers #CAF #football #Africa

🎙️⚽️📺 OH LEUVEN FIGHT BACK TO DRAW 2-2 AT PARIS FC! Great to start my 4th season on the UEFA Women’s Champions League with my 30th commentary on it being a cracker. So good to see this awesome competition keep growing, curious to see how the change to a league phase goes. #UWCL #womensfootball

SEMI-FINAL SPOT ON THE LINE, WHO TAKES IT? 🎙️📺 🇺🇦🇮🇹 #Ukraine only need a draw, #Italy MUST win! High stakes brings high drama, great to be on U19 Euros world feed commentary across the last few days. You can watch it all live and free on UEFA 📺 ! #futsal #U19Futsal #sport
