 | | Mark reports from sports stadiums all around the country |
Midweek evenings I sat next to our old radio listening to crackly European commentaries on BBC Radio from Peter Jones, Maurice Edelstone and Bryon Butler. Nine years later, I was in the press box at Nottingham Forest my first football commentary. And for the last 20 years I've endured the highs and lows of East Midlands sport.
