Former Tottenham forward Garth was the BBC's England reporter for eight years. He covered the national team camps at Euro 2000 and 2004 and the 2002 and 2006 World Cups.

 

Born in Stoke-on-Trent, Garth began his playing career at the age of 18 with Stoke City, moving to Tottenham four years later to produce a formidable striking partnership with Steve Archibald. He scored more than 200 goals and won the FA Cup with Spurs in 1981 and 1982, and the UEFA Cup in 1984.

 

The following season he joined Manchester United on loan, and then had spells at West Bromwich Albion and Charlton Athletic while performing his duties as Chairman of the Professional Footballers Association.

 

Garth eventually hung up his boots in 1990. Having made television appearances while still a player, the switch to presenting was a natural one and Garth was a match analyst for the BBC during the 1982 and 1990 World Cups. He also makes regular appearances on Score, Football Focus and Match Of The Day.
