Overview
This is the autobiography of Dougie Donnelly, one of Scotland's most successful and best loved broadcasters, who spent over 32 years with the BBC as a presenter on Grandstand and Sportscene, as well as commentating on Great Britain winning the women's gold medal at curling at the Winter Olympics!
Dougie Donnelly has presented Scotland playing in football World Cups and European Championships, a Scottish club in a European Final, Europe winning Ryder and Solheim Cups and a Scottish golfer winning a Major. He was there when Scotland won two rugby Grand Slams and medals in Olympic and Commonwealth Games, and when Stephen Hendry was the greatest snooker player in the world. Oh, and he interviewed an American President on stage at the Royal Albert Hall! Donnelly is one of Scotlands most successful and best loved broadcasters, whose career has taken him from a law degree he never used, to an award-winning 15 years as a radio DJ and encounters with Paul McCartney and Elton John, to a worldwide career in television sport. He still travels the world commentating on golf at the highest level. He tells his story with humor and insight and with the true smooth Donnelly style and voice we know and love.
