In this episode we delve into the Scottish Football Museum archive to bring you an interview with Dougie Donnelly. In terms of British sports broadcasting, Dougie is someone who needs no introduction. Dougie grew up supporting Clyde thanks to the influence of his grandfather who worked at Shawfield, and still follows the Bully Wee to this day. Dougie studied law at the University of Strathclyde and had an interest in music, but ultimately found his calling in sports broadcasting on radio and TV. Dougie was a familiar face and voice to sports fans all across Britain and presented Sportscene and Grandstand in addition to World Cups, Olympics and Commonwealth Games coverage for the BBC. These days Dougie is retired from regular broadcasting work but can still be found hosting events such as the Scottish Football Hall of Fame induction dinner every year.
