A long-serving member of the BBC Sport team, Tony has covered everything from World Cups to Summer and Winter Olympics in his varied career.
Born in Manchester in 1943, he started out on local newspapers in Lancashire, before working as a staff reporter for the Daily Mirror. He then gained employment as a newscaster for Southern TV in Southampton, before becoming a Liverpool-based BBC correspondent.
Tony presented the BBC's Sportsnight programme from 1973 to 1978 before moving on to commentate on a range of sports, including cycling, ice skating, table tennis, squash and bobsleigh. But the veteran broadcaster is perhaps best-known for football commentary as a resident on Match Of The Day.
As a football fan and commentator Tony lists witnessing George Best's debut at Manchester United and Michael Owen's at Liverpool as highlights. He’s a keen fly fisherman, and also enjoys watching golf.
