As well as getting to grips with the business, I’ve been offered the chance to try my hand at radio commentary, summarising on Burnley’s away games in the south of England. I’ve been out of the game for a year now so it’s great to be back involved. I’m looking forward to it, particularly doing some work for my old side Burnley who are now involved in the Premier League.

A friend of mine, Paul Weller, does the radio commentary for Burnley but he struggles to cover the games in London so the radio station asked him if he knew anybody who lives in the south of the country and he instantly recommended me. I’m really looking forward to it, you can never get football out of your system and this is a nice way for me to stay involved.

My role is basically summarising during the game. I’ve only done this once before, funnily enough it was a Burnley game against another of my old clubs, Luton Town.

There are some great stadiums in this country, and some of those are in the Capital so I think the places that I’m going to be commentating at during the season will look after us well and I’m looking forward to the excellent hospitality at places like the Emirates and Stamford Bridge!
