'Dougie Donnelly, or Doogly Dogly is what I called him for a reason unknown but to myself! I love him because he reminds me of a great time in my life when I was full of hope for the future and Doogly always encouraged it. He has become a huge success and he thoroughly deserves it. What memories we share — and what a memoir!' From the Foreword by Billy Connolly 'Moving comfortably from sport to sport – as Dougie has done – doesn’t happen by accident. It takes long hours of background research to get to know as much about the sport as possible – its history, skills and pitfalls. That knowledge then lets Dougie earn the trust and respect of the participants – and that is reflected in the quality of his interaction with them. A professional to the core!' Ally McCoist 'Dougie’s voice is as distinctive as it is familiar in homes across the country – and no matter what sport you follow, watch or listen to. Dougie’s sporting wisdom, knowledge and talent matched with his humour, kindness and professionalism makes him always interesting and enjoyable to be around.' Rhona Howie
