Then of course we also had Dave Bennett calling DKE Kelly-Holmes.
Wasn't sure if that was deliberate though.
He seems a nice enough bloke, but I do find it annoying when he keeps saying unfunny stuff and then laughs at what he has just said himself.Always sounds like Benno is pissed, probably needs to be to work along side Clive and Geoff?

Benno goes to my local, loves himself a little and spends lots of time on the slots/bandits whatever the name is for them these days

What did he do playing cricket?Many years ago me and my mate were in Fatty Arbuckles and saw Benno sleazing up some blonde on the dancefloor. We went up to them and gave it the full Bennooo Bennooo Bennooo for about a minute. She stomped off and he was non too pleased.
A few years later I was playing cricket against Attleborough and he was playing for them. I was more than a little disappointed in his behaviour ( as he probably was with mine earlier). Never meet your heroes as they say.
Well, I have tried this at home and have to say I am pretty good.Personal opinion, but I think some of this is a wee bit harsh. Commentating on a live game, especially for radio, isn't easy. If you don't believe me try it out loud for yourselves the next time you're watching a live game on TV. There's a lot of stuff to get over, player's name, challenger's name, position on the pitch, where the ball is, where it's moving to, etc. etc ... you might want to do this when there's no one else in the house.
As for the phone in, they've got an awful lot more patience than I'd have...
"Well I think you're wrong, Clive."
"Well I think you're a twat, Pete." (click...)
I am however, brilliant at predicting what the analysts/commentators are going to say in response to an incident on MoTD. You know the stuff like "Ooh, the ref's been a bit harsh there", or "I don't know what (e.g. Costa) was thinking about!". Whether that's because it's so trite and predictable now, or whether it's because I'm a football genius I'll leave to others.
Sadly though I can't become a TV pundit because I don't have trousers that are tight enough and a daft range of shirts.

Mate of mine got community service for lamping someone. He had to spend time picking up litter and suchlike. Bet he'd have rather gone on the radio.Geoff Foster started off as a Community Service Volunteer at CWR. I know, because I started there just after him. He passed his Radio Journalism City & Guilds and they gave him a post (I believe temporary at first to see how he got on), and he's been there ever since. Rob Gurney was the best presenter they ever had. Really knew his stuff. He was a really nice guy off-air as well. However, Geoff was a bit of a misery though. Me and one of the other lads at CWR played a joke on him while he was live on air. He was fine at the time but as soon as he came out of the studio he shouted and balled at us for "embarrassing" him in front of all the listeners! We got a right bollocking from the station manager!
He used to like the do you know who I am line at Sunday leagueJust gobbing off and acting a prick from the sidelines and arrogance beyond the realms of reality.
