Sheffield Sharks legend Todd Cauthorn has announced his retirement from the game. Cauthorn, aged 39, has decided to call time on a glorious career after spending the summer considering whether to play one final season for the club which he first joined in 1994.

Back in 2002 during the Commonwealth Games in Manchester, I was working at BBC 2002 Commonwealth Games Radio. I got a phone call from the Manager of BBC GMR asking if I was available to present their Sunday Breakfast programme as holiday cover. That was the start of a relationship which has now lasted over 10 years and continues to go from strength to strength.
