The Men’s #SixNationsrugby starts tomorrow (Thursday night, odd, I know) as France host Ireland at the Stade de France, where La Marseillaise will ring out!
Dusted off the violin for the first time in 15 years in (poor) tribute to a stirring national anthem!

Love a good bit of cup drama, so it was fun to commentate on it recently as 3rd-tier Oxford United scoring three times late on to get a fourth FA Cup win this season and reach the 5th round!
Loved the vibes of the subs running on too! #football #commentary #womensfootball #FACup #womenssport

2025 was my 10th year as a pro sports broadcaster, not that I’m expecting a testimonial match! 😂
Commentating on the Lionesses victory parade, and shedding a few happy tears after, was epic having covered so much Women’s football - SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE went!
Happy New Year! #football #sport

When you are a sports-mad 15-year-old, you’ll want to try broadcasting…

How does a Champions League football commentator write out the lineups?
I use different colours and formations to help map it out.
Bonus points if you can guess correctly what the different shorthand pink annotations mean!

From leading the white-ball Men’s and Women’s broadcasts to sharing the box with so many brilliant people.
So many on-field highlights and a great crew off it!
A special season, professionally and personally - a link to my grandad Ray Valente. ❤️🏏

Ethan Nwaneri is a STAR! This kid can PLAY!
The 18-year-old is a joy to watch, helping England go 5/5 in EURO 2027 qualifying, winning 4-0 in Slovakia.
Grateful to be trusted by the FA on England U21s commentary once again - their EUROS ‘three-peat’ is on!

BAD MEMORIES FOR ARSENAL AT BAYERN… A DIFFERENT STORY TONIGHT? A Pernille Harder hat-trick sunk Arsenal to a 5-2 loss at Bayern, one of the Gunners last games under Jonas Eidevall. Remarkable to think that was just over a year ago, and that under Renee Slegers WON the #UWCL! #football #Arsenal

MAGIC MOMENTS…
The Harder hat-trick to thrash Arsenal 5-2 last year.
The Stanway comeback to beat Benfica in 2022.
Maybe me commentating at this ground is the #Bayern good luck charm? 😂
