IAN HAWKINS - Burton Albion
Ian Hawkins has been the announcer at Burton Albion for 30 years.
Doubling up on the press team has made it quite the role for him but it's announcing the goals, teams and best of all the subs that he loves most - especially as the subs are sponsored by Doggy Daycare Burton...it's TRUE!
Rich Hurst of West Brom and Alan Keegan of Man United put the questions to Ian and share their own stories about working on the mic at football.
Also, the guys from Shoot Music have sent three more tunes over to be reviewed. They provide music to stadium around the world and the guys judge the tunes by declaring where they put them on their matchday playlists.
