On Wednesday the 2nd of April my son Thomas was lucky enough to be interviewed on The Colin Murray show, on TalkSport. As part of World Autism Awareness day (Tom has autism) Colin talked to him about his work as a football commentator for Sutton United FC. Tom came across brilliantly, cool, focused and enthusiastic...I couldn't have been prouder of him; especially as the same can't be said of me...nerves had the better of me on the day.
Whatever the future holds for Tom, this moment will stay with him forever. It boosted his confidence and gave him something to aim at. Everyone at the station was wonderful, they made a great fuss of him and were effusive in their praise...all of which made the experience even more memorable.
The above work is my way of saying thank you to all concerned, I was a TalkSport/Colin Murray fan before this marvellous event...I'm doubly so now.
Best of luck in the future guys with your "Average" show!.
UPDATE: As of April 10th 2015 my son Tom completed a wonderful week of work experience on Colin's show. A massive thanks to Colin, Kathryn and James for looking after him.
Excelsior Out!!
