Nathan Coombs was boss IMO as a presenter.
He pitched it at the brand new viewer, just getting into it.. And also the older viewer who knew their stuff.. Without patronising either.
"Chappers" seems to be the BBC 'go to guy' for their presenting and I think they are missing a trick.
He does a podcast called Americarnage with Michael Carlson during the season, kills an hour and they talk football. Think he has another show for Talksport where they cover all the American Sports. He is very good.
