 | | Nick Barnes is BBC Radio Newcastle's football commentator for all Sunderland AFC matches...whether they be at the traditional time of 3pm on a Saturday afternoon (very rare these days!), mid-week or Sunday.
He claims not to remember any playground games from his school days, although for some strange reason he recalls his Dickensian headmistress! | | Nick Barnes | | |
