Mike Rankine - Crystal Palace Stadium Announcer
We're back for series 3 and it's straight into a big one, Mike Rankine, man on the mic at Crystal Palace FC.
Mike started in the season the club almost went into administration so fair to say he's seen a bit of drama beyond just the great matches he's hosted.
He talks about working during Covid and the time the fans started a petition to get him re-instated when he 'went upstairs' to be 'director of stadium announcers'
Also this episode, we ask Alan Keegan what music he might play for announcing the return of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lance Cook tells us the tune he rates as Walk Out Worthy from the Shoot Music Sport Playlists.
