About the Book:
When talkSPORT launched on 17 January 2000, engineers were still working on the studios as the station went live on air. They’re probably still there today. . . Featuring contributions from all the key players, including Alan Brazil, Stan Collymore, Darren Gough, Mike Parry and Ian Wright, this book tells the story of the astonishing rise of talkSPORT from those difficult beginnings and explains how it conquered the airwaves. Read the amazing accounts of how:
- Presenters began brawling during an on-air argument
- Controversial Muslim cleric Abu Hamza revealed his love of belly dancing music.
- One presenter stripped off in the studio during a live broadcast
