Episode Four
"Football, a family tradition."
Nigel Adderley has commentated for BBC, Talksport, BT Sport, as well as numerous others. In May 2019, Nigel commentated on his beloved Tranmere Rovers, as they faced Newport County in the league two playoff final.
12 months previous, Nigel had decided not to attend Tranmere's national league playoff final with Boreham Wood, following a painful defeat at Wembley 12 months previous against Forest Green Rovers.
Five months before the playoff final, Nigel's father had passed away, and on the advice of his mother, Nigel took an offer to voice the Newport Tranmere playoff final for Talksport. After a nervy 119 minutes of action, Nigel belted out the words "Jennings with the header. . .Jennings has done it."
After the match, Mark Saggers praised Nigel for being so composed and unbiased whilst commentating on his own team, and that his father would be proud of him. At that moment, Nigel broke down in tears. The emotions of the previous six months, coupled with the ecstasy of the late winner, all came out at once.
We talk to Nigel about his career as a commentator, the ups and the downs, his love of football, and its inextricable link to family.
