Which programmes do you present?

Saturday Sport, Drivetime, Sportstalk and the occasional Matchnight and Sport On Sunday. I've also presented the Breakfast Show, The Early Breakfast Show, Mid-Morning, Lunchtime, the Afternoon Show and the Late Show, so I've just about got my full set.

Favourite broadcasting memory?

Reporting on the Jimmy Glass goal that kept Carlisle United in the Football League.

Least Favourite broadcasting memory?

Other than reporting on Carlisle's relegation out of the Football League in 2004, I suppose having a blind-folded man in a top-hat juggle machetes above my head live on air wasn't a bundle of laughs at the time.

Most bizarre on-air moment?

When the stitches on a boxing wound on my lip split live on air while laughing at one of Derek Lacey's dismal jokes. It looked like I'd been punched in the mouth by Lennox Lewis. I also waded through five feet of water during the floods of 2005 in an attempt to get to work which wasn't the most sensible thing I've ever done.

What would you be if you weren't a radio presenter?

A professional rugby league player. A bad one, mind you. Or a very, very bad professional boxer.

Private Life?

Married to the beautiful Maria with my beautiful baby boy, Louie.

Tell us something that we may not know.

My Great-Grandfather played rugby league for England.

Anything else?

Derek Lacey should have done stand-up as a career.
