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:

Listening to it right now....ta (Rob sounds less 'posher' than he seemed to when he was commentating)
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.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

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
Houch, are you cueing up Bachman Turner Overdrive?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.

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

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: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.

No. Buggles.Houch, are you cueing up Bachman Turner Overdrive?
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.
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 HouchI 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.
