Sports Commentator Visits Media Students

Dave is currently a commentator for Sky Sports Rugby League, having previously spent 33 years at the BBC. He has covered football world cups, rugby league world cups, the Europa League, plus much more. Best of all, he started his BBC career right here in Leeds!

Dave spoke about how he got into the industry and recited some interesting stories and encounters with some of the world of sports' biggest names. He also gave them some great tips about how to break into the industry.

Student Rian Alegue said 'He was a very informative speaker and gave really entertaining stories. He gave us examples of what we had to do to get into the industry'.

Fellow student Grace Sebright-Pickard said 'His experience and knowledge was invaluable. I really enjoyed listening to what he has to say'.

We look forward to welcoming Dave back to Notre Dame in the future!
