With more than forty years reporting on news and sport for both radio and TV for the BBC, Pat has the sharp wit and experience to handle anything thrown at him !

Having written and published over forty books on sporting legends such as Ian Botham and Brian Clough – and collaborated with the likes of Alec Stewart, Andrew Flintoff, Viv Richards, Imran Khan, Dermot Reeve and Graham Gooch, to name but a few, Pat is also a popular, hugely respected author in the realm of ghost writing.

Acknowledged as one of the foremost sports reporters, covering mainly football and cricket, Pat remains an integral part of football reporting every Saturday on BBC Radio 5 Live.
Pat’s insight into football and cricket, has given him both access to the corridors of sporting power and also the respect of his peers for his trenchant, uncompromising opinions, and he’s willing to air them as a guest speaker. Pat never sits on the fence, but speaks with humour as well as gravitas.
Possessing one of the most recognisable voices in sports broadcasting, armed with an unflappable temperament, Pat Murphy is without doubt one of the supreme all-rounders in the art of public speaking. This is an event not to be missed !
