Biography
Long-serving BBC news anchor for the South East of England and the only person on this site to have a sport named after him (apart from Alan Gaelicfootball). Ground out seven series of the amiable-enough Clive Doig quizzer Turnabout. These days, his voice is often heard on the interactive TV updates for BBC Sport and his face is on Sky News.
Trivia
