A MAN from Worthing is making a name for himself as a sports presenter and even has his own football podcast.

Kevin Clarke’s big break came when he heard about a people’s pundit competition on radio station talkSPORT.

Kevin said: “It took me back to my childhood so I entered and ultimately won.”

As a result, Simon Green, head of BT Sport, gave him a slot on BT Sport for a day.

Kevin got the chance to interview ex-England goalkeeper and BT Sport presenter David James at Anfield during the Fletch and Sav show.

From there, he went on to win a BT TV presenters’ competition, filming at Wembley Stadium and an EE shop in Marble Arch, as well as presenting a BT internal TV show on the red sofa. His football podcast, called The People’s Pundits, is put together with co-presenter Ian Hart and kicked off in June.

Kevin, a director for BT’s Global Services division, has now produced his first filmed interview.

He said: “It’s with Worthing chairman George Dowell, who was paralysed at the age of 17 from the chest down following a car crash.

“The interview explores topics relating to his accident and the effect it’s had on his life.”

It’s available to watch on Facebook, iTunes, Twitter and YouTube.

Kevin, said: “As a kid I used to have an old-fashioned tape recorder and would record sport and music-related items with my mates as a joke.

“In retrospect, I wish I’d done it earlier as maybe I could have made a career out of it. I’m in my late-40s now and I’ve got too many responsibilities, but it’s a great sideline that I enjoy.”

You can find Kevin’s podcast on iTunes by searching ‘thepeoplespundits’.

Kevin who lives in Church Walk, Worthing is married to Jo and has three children, Megan, 18, Jacob, 16 and Finlay, 12.
