Holgate to Heaven is a publication about working alongside “The Voice of the Boro”, the greatest commentator around, the late great Ali Brownlee.

For ten years we lived in each others’ pockets, clocking up five hundred games as a partnership. We did five cup finals, had two European adventures and picked up a gold radio award. It was Middlesbrough Football Clubs most glamorous and successful period and we were both honoured and blessed to be part of it.

However, it wasn’t always plain sailing. We had our disagreements, got banned and lost the commentary rights in our pomp.
