Thats the trouble with these interchangeable christian names. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iraklis 2,231 Report post Posted June 13, 2022 You would be correct in your thinkin WeDoomed mate, Sam Ottley (Samantha Jane Ottley) is a female driver I think Dynamite was referrin to how the announcer only calls Sam by 'SHE' and not her name..... Hey Dynamite you forgot to add to the end of you post above; where you mention drunk or stoned 'and or both'....

If I was a betting man, and unfortunately I have been in the past, Justin Evans won't last half or maybe even a quarter of the time Davey Mac lasted , wouldn't surprise me if he ended up taking Tony Lees place when he pulls pin or get told to fuck off, I think he comes from around the CD area , not entirely certain.

Tony mentored him 25 years ago in CD where JE did trials and the occasional race. He did live up that way for quite some time. I stand to be corrected but the commentator changes , including the departure of a number of them was at the behest of a now departed Trackside employee.

Mmm .. funny you say that J.J .. I heard similar rumblings about a certain trackside employee and race caller involved with Brian Martin's demise from greyhound commentating, and Brian was head and shoulders above anyone who is currently commentating.
