Quote: jaybs "No worked full time for Radio City for 21 years, never forget being with Clive Tyldesley now ITV Football covering a Great Britain game at Central Park, he was doing it for all the ILR network & IRN, I did a two page chart with decisions on in pictures and their meanings, he had never covered a rugby league match before, but he was a big name! Best ever for me was a guy David Oates with Radio Manchester he was spot on, pleaded with BBC & RFL to replace French, sadly he died too young at 50, last 8 years he was their Manchester Utd match guy.
Agree completely with assessment of Ray & Alan show, more Morecambe & Wise, perhaps okay once. was impressed with Cullen yesterday on Bug Bash.'"
Radio Merseyside will never change anything unless somebody dies. The head of the station a few years back wanted to get me on to do comedy shows about Merseyside. They were well up for it. Then forgive the pun, I got radio silence. I was told a year or so later that the idea was put to bed by a certain influential radio presenter there.
Ray's been fantastic over his career but it needs a younger spin on it now and get someone to work with Alan Rooney, he should be the main man now.
