Hugh is Key 103's Sports Editor and presenter of Total Football. Every time either United or City score a goal, only dolphins will be able to hear. You see, Hugh is known to get a little bit excited on the odd occasion. But he's promised to try and keep the level down to help the human listeners of Magic 1152's exclusive commentary show actually hear what happens.

He attempts to keep the squabbling twins Andy Hinchcliffe and Mickey Thomas apart on Total Football, and is grateful that only twice a year at the Manchester derbies will this require physical exertion.

Hugh trained as a journalist in London and joined Key 103 back in 2002. He's always on the end of Mike Toolan's sharp wit (childish bullying) on Toolan in the Morning every morning, and learning how to deal with this wasn't involved in his training. So presenting a football show is the only way of rebuilding his confidence.

Each week Total Football will be live at every single United game on Manchester's Magic 1152. You won't miss a moment of this season if you stay tuned for all the action in the Premier League, Champions League, UEFA Cup, FA Cup and Carling Cup. Hear how your team gets on, and just how high Hugh's screeching will go on Magic 1152's Total Football.
