Title: Motty Has Died
Post by: Slim on February 23, 2023, 09:56:30 AM
It's only a couple of years since he was a regular on 5 Live's Monday Night Club. Often made a game more interesting than it really was.

Just read on his wiki entry that he finished his career at Dulwich Hamlet FC, which was a five minute walk from my old flat in London. Used to pass the ground on my walk to and from Sainsburys.

He was local to Barnet and I think he started his journalistic career with  a local weekly paper.  Often attended games at Underhill when he had a Saturday off.
