About this episode
Tell us what you think of this episode Jan Gray interviews ex Glamorgan and Gloucestershire bowler Alan Wilkins. They talk about his early years and the importance of Alan's father as an influence on his sporting development. Alan mentions the highlights of his career in first class cricket including, as any bowler would be pleased to mention, bowling the cricketing greats Viv Richards and Sunil Gavaskar. There is a discussion about his move to Gloucestershire and the injury that brought an abrupt end to his playing career. Alan then outlines his second career as a sports broadcaster which has taken him to all parts of the World and has paired him in interview with some of the greatest sports people of the 21st century including Virat Kohli, Roger Federer and Tiger Woods. Alan's love of his home in Wales shines through as well as his commitment to and understanding of what makes a good sports broadcaster.
