Adrian is one of the BBC's most versatile and admired presenters, and is famously football-mad – in particular about West Brom.
After graduating with a degree in English Literature from the University of London, he attended a journalism course in Cardiff and worked as a sports reporter for, among others, the News Of The World.
Adrian joined the BBC originally for three weeks' work experience and by 1993 was presenting Radio 4's Financial World Tonight. In 1994 he started presenting Wake Up To Money on the relaunchedd Radio 5 Live.
Adrian started presenting the Wednesday night edition of 5 Live's football phone-in, 6-0-6, in 2001. His 5 Live show, Chiles On Saturday, won the Sports Category Gold in the Sony Radio Awards in 2002.
He is a presenter on Working Lunch on BBC Two on weekdays and presents Match Of The Day 2 on BBC Two on Sunday evenings.
A football dream came true for Birmingham-born Adrian in 2006 when he worked on the World Cup for the first time, presenting the BBC's nightly highlights programme from Germany.
Adrian has also written and presented a number of other programmes for the BBC. These include So What Do You Do All Day? – a look at the lives of some of Britain's highest-profile figures and, most recently, the daily magazine programme The ONE Show.
