Mike was born in Norwich in 1970, but
it wasn't until 1993 that he made his
broadcasting debut as a volunteer football
reporter for BBC Radio Norfolk.
At the time he was still studying for a media
diploma but, once his studies were completed,
he began his radio career in earnest.
After spending three-and-a-half years learning
his trade, Mike left Radio Norfolk to become
Sports Editor at BBC Radio Northampton,
where he fulfilled a lifetime's ambition of
commentating at Wembley Stadium.
He joined BBC Radio Sport and the BBC
Radio 5 Live team in late 1999.
Since then, he has become a regular voice at
football matches on Saturday Sport on 5 Live
and has covered several high-profile events.
Mike has reported at two Commonwealth
Games, the 2004 Paralympics, Wimbledon and The
Open golf, and spent the 2005 Formula One
season patrolling the pit lane in search of driver
interviews.
He still has another ambition to fulfil and that
is to commentate at the new Wembley!
