Kevin Long - Rhyming Announcer of Ipswich

In this episode we meet Ipswich centre green legend Kev Long, who has spent 20 years entertaining crowds at Foxhall, plus Mildenhall for a few years too. His first season on the mic was in 1998, a year which the Ipswich team went down in speedway folklore. In this episode Kev relives the rhyming rider intros for that 98 team (no air horns allowed), talks being drenched by Shane Parker, and how he thought he'd died and Gove to heaven only to find it was Richie Worrall with a fire extinguisher.. AND, a preview of the rhyming intro he has ready for Jason Crump at the British Final..!Plus his dream meeting is assembled on speedway paradise, and much more too..!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
