Pete admits to being a
bit of an Liverpool fan in his youth, pretty natural when your Dad lived
on Anfield Road. In fact he only happened across Rangers by chance, at
university he ended up sharing a flat with Karl Ready's brother "most of
the house became QPR fans by default" says Pete.
Once university was out
of the way Pete moved to London and watching Rangers seemed the obvious
thing to do. He then managed to do what most fans dream of, get a job at
the club they support, joining as the clubs DJ. When the then PA announcer
left Pete was asked to fill in and has never stepped down.
If you find yourself
watching sport on TV and thinking you recognise the PA mans voice that's
because it's probably Pete! Since working at Rangers jobs and
opportunities have flooded in and Pete can be heard at Wasps and Saracens
Rugby clubs, The London Masters tournament and many showpiece Rugby League
games but Rangers remains his first love.
Pete describes us a "a
great little big club" and though he admits the club has had nothing but
bad luck since he started following us "at least I'm not a glory boy"
He sees his job as giving
supporters that little bit extra. "It's about giving them more than just a
game" he tells us "plus if I can help raise the excitement then that gets
the players going".
