We Welcome Your Teams - Football as seen by stadium announcers
Stadium Announcers aren't just voices you hear on the tannoy on matchdays. They're incredible characters, who've seen the game you watch every week from a completely different angle. Find out how they got the job and why they love it so much and the best and worst moments they've been on the mic for their club.

For a special episode, we're chatting to a stadium announcer from days gone by at Manchester United.
Alwyn Thompson was on the mic at Old Trafford between 1965 and 1973 and had a host of other duties that would seem completely alien to stadium announcers in the modern game.
Our regular hosts Rich Hurst of West Brom and current voice of Old Trafford, Alan Keegan, quizzed Alwyn about how he got the job, what his responsibilities were and how he looks back now at what was a special moment in his life long love of Man United.
There's also some unique comparisons between what Alan does at Old Trafford today and what Alwyn did back then.
Plus the guys at ShootMusic.com have sent us more tunes for matchday DJs.
