After Dinner Speaker : Pat Murphy
Pat Murphy has been BBC National Radio Sport's reporter in the Midlands for almost 30 years, specialising in football and cricket. When he's not abroad in the winter covering England's cricketing fortunes - at the last count,18 tours! - he can be heard reporting from Midland footballing strongholds such as Villa Park, the Hawthorns, St Andrew's and Molineux for BBC Radio Five Live.
Pat also writes cricket books, both under his own name and with the likes of Alex Stewart, Ian Botham, Imran Khan, Viv Richards, Graham Gooch, Graeme Hick and Allan Donald. Author of acclaimed biographies of Ian Botham and Brian Clough, his latest book is a study of the 25 batsmen who have scored a hundred centuries - called 'The Centurions - from Grace to Ramprakash'.
A law graduate, Pat has worked in journalism for forty years.
