BBL basketball returns to Manchester for the first time in nearly a decade on Wednesday as Mersey Tigers face Newcastle Eagles in the BBL Trophy semi-final first leg. The winner of the tie will face Guildford Heat on March 5 at the O2 in London, and the second leg of the semi-final takes place at Newcastle on Friday.
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.
