SGR Confirm Stockwell Their Pundit - Ipswich Town News

SGR FM have confirmed that Town legend Micky Stockwell will be their pundit for the season as they begin three years of live commentary on the Blues home and away. Mark Scott, who currently works for Capital Radio, will be their commentator.

TWTD will also have some minor involvement in SGR's coverage, Phil Ham having been asked to become a regular contributor to their post-match phone-in, along with Evening Star and Green Un chief sportswriter Elvin King.

SGR FM's programme controller Dan Thorpe says he is delighted to have secured Stockwell to provide expert analysis: "Mick Stockwell is an Ipswich Town legend and a great signing for SGR FM.

"I haven't told him this yet, but he was my favourite Town player growing up, and my dad, who used to take me to all the games, was very much a member of the ‘Stockwell for England' club!

"You could tell from the way he played that he loved Ipswich Town, and that passion for the club, as well as his undoubted expertise on the game, is why we're so excited to have him as part of our team.

"That passion for the club is also very strong in the other members of the team; no one knows or cares more about the club than Elvin or Phil, and in Mark we have an exceptional commentator to hold it all together.”

Stockwell, who spent 15 years as a player with Town, is looking forward to his new role: "I'm delighted to be working with SGR FM on their full match commentary.

"Ipswich Town have always been my club, I had great times there and they still mean a lot to me.

"I'm really looking forward to covering all the games, giving my views of what is happening on the pitch and hopefully telling the story of a really successful season for the club.”

More details on SGR's coverage can be found on their website, including a recent question and answer session which includes information on where the station can be heard.
