Sacrilege: Woman to voice Saturday footie scores

[Lost Leopard Spot]

You wouldn't make it up in a novel!
57 year old Charlotte Green, a Spurs fan, is to be, from September 27th the new voice of football replacing the melodious tones of James Alexander Gordon. I Do Not Believe It. Sacrilege mon dieu.

They could have chosen a lot worse to be honest from someone who listens to Radio 4.

Like that female football radio commentator that screeches every time the ball goes near the penalty area.

There is that I suppose.

You see, bish has inside information, being as his Bish Bash Bosh fantasy team competes against mine, and therefore he knows a terrible secret surrounding who I really am.
So, no I'm afraid I'm not.

Have a woman Spurs supporter as THE VOICE OF FOOTBALL.

James Alexander Gordon has been that voice forever. I remember him when I was a kid and that's a while ago.

It'll be different whoever it was.

Absolutely. James Alexander Gordon, the testcard girl of footie results. Such a wonderful voice. We used to have a game in the car on the way home from away matches - you had to guess how many the away side had scored from JAG's intonation. Always thought that he'd have been perfect for the R4 Shipping Forecast too.

Apparently he started reading the scores in 74, the year of my first game.

[thebish]

he was hired because the BBC wanted a scottish voice...

Does anyone listen to it any more anyway?

Yes. Obviously.

That man that does it now, his voice is just gorgeous, so soothing. I could drift off to sleep listening to him read the football scores.

However there is nothing wrong with a woman doing the job, even if she is a spurs fan, so I object to the sexist nature and title of this thread. Can I make an official complaint?!
