Has anyone given this a listen? Good insight into his time commentating on his beloved Sky Blues and how his time ultimately ended when he fell out with Strachan etc.

Listened to it yesterday! Don’t normally bother with podcasts but liked his commentary, even if I was just a wee lad when he covered us! :emoji_laughing:

the only black mark against him is that after we finally won at Villa Park he played a bloody Lighthouse Family song to commemorate the occasion. But he was clearly choked up & emotional about it so I guess he gets a pass for abysmal taste in music

Also remember listening to the Spurs game in 97 and when the final whistle went they pulled the power cable out and the radio cut out for about ten mins. He mentions it in the podcast. Mind you I'd have probably done the same. His commentary used to be brilliant.

 

[Houchens Head]

I worked alongside Rob now and again when I was with CWR back in the early 90's. He really is a top bloke when off-air. He and Geoff came to my leaving do which was a really nice gesture.
Here's me in the studio with Rob and Fozzie in the studio next door.

i think that happened in the Villa match as well didn’t it? He got so excited a cable got yanked somewhere and it went dead for a couple of mins

Yes. The basturrrd.

Villa away I think....I had to work that day. He screamed and the radio went silent. Spent five minutes frantically hitting the radio and licking the fucking batteries

Either that or the station playlist has to be adhered to and needs sorting.

Listened to it last week , it was trip down memory lane

Got the Steve frogatt one to listen to today

No, he said a few words beforehand saying he’d chosen that song specifically and explained what it meant to him to win at Villa & how he thought the lyrics were appropriate.

Oh right-was at the game itself so wouldn’t have heard. Would be interesting if someone had the time to dig out a few of his “highlights” while at the club including him and Dent pulling out the mic :emoji_laughing:

It was February 14th, I had to go to a valentines do with the then-girlfriend, it was at the Leofric I think (no, it wasn't always a total dump), booked ages beforehand before the cup even started that year, but I did take headphones. Never forgave her for not letting me off the hook to go to the game.

No. Buggles.

His mum was a teacher at president Kennedy school

I went to the game with my then girlfriend at the time - always useful to have a fellow fan as the other half! First ever trip to Villa for me too!

Only downside was we were sitting in the Villa section. Dwight Yorke went past and we were the first two to clock him - he was their best player at the time.

The Keiran Maguire one onion Sky Blue Extra is brilliant. A Real good insight into the finances.

Price of Football podcast also excellent, where Keiran resides usually.

Downloaded it to listen tonight rather than the wife snoring

He did a cororate vid for us when still at CWR, seemed genuine and friendly. I was impressed that even though he was working in radio, he was dressed in waistcoat and tie. Very smart - I'm surprised he fitted in with you lot judging by the photo Houch

Is that Annie Othen you are with there, Houch?

 

[Houchens Head]

Is that Annie Othen you are with there, Houch?

No, OW. Her name was Sarah, and I wanted so much to ..... well, anyway. She now works with BBC TV in Brum. But I managed to make out with another Anne who worked there, but not Ms Othen! Her secret with me shall remain intact! There! I've said enough already!
