In a special bonus podcast, WALOC speaks to Eurosport football commentator and analyst Andy Bodfish. Northampton lad Andy started out at now defunct local TV station Northants TV before making his way to an international commentary career that has spanned continents and competitions, taking un Euros, African Cup Of Nations, World Cups and plenty more in between.
Andy shares stories of his formative years in local TV turning up at Ian Atkins' house on one occasion before moving on to be involved in voicing seminal goal busting show "EuroGoals" for Eurosport and covering pretty much every league known to man.
He provides insights into the art of the commentator and also the humorous side of covering such events as ski-jumping and snow volleyball while trying to get round the weird and wonderful names of European football such as Steve Savidan and Kenneth Perez.
Every story is told with a smile and Andy looks back at a varied career that saw him work at European Cup finals and also standing outside Sixfields for a scoop. Now, has anyone got the channel number for Eurosport?...
