BBC commentator John Murray reflects on three decades covering football, from his first gig at Stoke City's Victoria Ground to commentating in the Arctic Circle. Murray, 59, has traversed five continents and more than 200 stadiums since joining Radio 5 Live in 1994. His career highlights include witnessing Bodo/Glimt's stunning 1-0 Champions League upset of Manchester City in Norway's Arctic Circle, a match he likened to the film 'Local Hero'.

Murray also faced his most challenging broadcast during a COVID-19-restricted FA Cup third-round tie at Marine, forced to commentate from behind the goal. He ranks the 2022 World Cup final, featuring Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe, as his favorite match due to its drama and spectacle.
