Description
The story of Sports Report is a 75-year-old history of sport.
The BBC's Sports Report is the world's longest-running sports radio programme. It started on January 3rd, 1948, and has always been broadcast from 5.00 to 6.00 p.m. on Saturday evenings.
The programme marks its 75th anniversary in 2023, and this BBC-endorsed book celebrates the show's rich history as well as British sport's greatest moments.
Written by Pat Murphy, the show's longest-serving regular contributor, the book will feature a wealth of anecdote and insight from its presenters (Des Lynam, Mark Pougatch, Eleanor Oldroyd, John Inverdale, Mark Chapman) and contributing journalists (Henry Winter, Garry Richardson, Daniel Taylor, Paul Hayward, Richard Williams), as well as leading sports personalities and celebrities who have appeared on the programme – or just listened on the radio at home (Gary Lineker, Geoff Boycott, Tim Rice, David Blunkett).
BBC Sports Report will take the readers behind the scenes of the world's longest-running sports radio programme and offer fresh light on some of the most significant moments in British sporting history.
