This is the autobiography of Dougie Donnelly, one of Scotland’s most successful and best loved broadcasters, who has spent over 32 years with the BBC as a presenter on Grandstand and Sportscene.
As well as commentating on Great Britain winning the gold medal at curling at the Winter Olympics Donnelly has also presented football World Cups and European Championships, Europe winning Ryder and Solheim Cups and many golf championships. He was there broadcasting when Scotland won two rugby Grand Slams and medals in Olympic and Commonwealth Games, and when Stephen Hendry was the greatest snooker player in the world. Oh, and he interviewed an American President on stage at the Royal Albert Hall!
Donnelly’s additional skills as a chat show host were recognised when he fronted a series Friday Night with Dougie Donnelly and a television special with Billy Connolly, Connolly with Donnelly both for the BBC. Dougie is still travelling the world doing what he does best – commentating on sport! His latest travels include commentating on international golf, a sport he loves to play - although admits he’s a better commentator than player!

As a student, Dougie was Social Secretary at Strathclyde University when he booked Billy Connolly a gig! They remain good friends. As a young DJ Dougie first found his voice, that Glasgow one, before sending a demo tape to Radio Clyde. From 1979 to 1992 he presented Radio Clyde’s Mid-Morning Show, before leaving to present on TV. Dougie soon established himself as a sports presenter and his skills as a chat show host were also recognised when he fronted a series Friday Night with Dougie Donnelly and a television special with Billy Connolly, Connolly with Donnelly both for the BBC.
