Lawrie Sanchez

I really enjoyed it.

So when you went to Fulham, it was Laurie Sanchez to start off with.

It was.

And then Roy Hodgson.

Yeah.

What was your first kind of impression of Laurie Sanchez? Because it was a difficult start at that time.

Laurie was all right with me.

He brought me to club, which I'm grateful for, but he had a certain way of wanting to play.

And, yeah, so went there.

And it was just nice because I think it's a really good place to learn was as the co-commentator, the summariser, because then you're not – I don't know you get to learn you get to sit back more you get to think you get to process whilst as a main commentator you're just going 24 7 you can't breathe sometimes and so learning off Barry was fantastic I worked with Pete Stevens who was in charge of BBC London he was the man in the studio either him or Phil Parry and they would be in contact with us throughout because us and I worked with Barry for a number of years we went through some incredible managers there was when Laurie Sanchez was there I just took over from Barry Barry had then gone on to do other work and because I'd earned my stripes shall we say I moved into the main seat and Barnett was struggling Sanchez was under pressure and they were playing away at Wimbledon his worst nightmare and I don't know if you remember when Wimbledon were playing the away fans were behind and the dugout where the away manager had to go.

And of course, Laurie Sanchez has vaguely walked out of the tunnel the other side of the pitch.

The crowd has erupted, standing ovation.

They're all singing his name.

Just as he's about to walk across the pitch, I'm due to go on air.

I've got my whole script in front of me.

Laurie Sanchez hasn't won in seven.

Here's my Sanchez five.

Robert Sanchez in goal, Davinson Sanchez at the back, two in midfield of Laurie Sanchez, Renato Sanchez or Carlos Sanchez.

Yeah.

I put Carlos on the bench, so it's Laurie and Renato in my midfield.

Did

Laurie...

Did Laurie Sanchez play in the Premier League? He did.

93-94.
