I was going to play for Tottenham. I was going to open the batting for England. I was going to win Wimbledon. I was going to win the Open. I was going to be a professional footballer. Until I realised that they were nothing but dreams. So I went into sports broadcasting. For a while I considered that to be my second-best option, until I realised that was, of course, my only option. It was a natural fit, and one that allowed me to be a part of so many wonderful sports that I wasn’t blessed with the talent to play.
