Only Danter

talkSPORT stalwart Ian Danter holds nothing back in this gripping account of how a Brummie wannabe rock star became one of the UK’s best-known sports broadcasters.

After a dramatic late 20s career shift from guitar sales to local – and then national – radio, Ian reveals how he developed his natural talents behind a mic alongside legends such as Alan Brazil, Adrian Durham, Hawksbee and Jacobs, Jeremy Kyle and many more.

Inside you will discover:

• A wealth of remarkable stories from travelling the country and the world covering football, cricket and darts • Diaries from Ian’s trips to World Cups and European Championships • Tales from countless press and commentary boxes, working alongside some of the best pundits in sport • Life at talkSPORT, presenting almost every show on the station’s schedule across 25 years • How Ian bounced back from several major setbacks during his on-air career • His stint as Alan Brazil’s stunt double on the talkSPORT breakfast show From circling Birmingham in a twin-engined plane for live travel reports, to emergency call-outs to cover AWOL presenters, to being violently sick live on air, to commentating at multiple World Cups, Euros, Premier League and EFL games, ‘Dants’ serves up a treasure trove of unforgettable stories. A must-read for every sport-lover!
