5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

When a 16-year-old Ian Dennis wanted some career advice on how to become a football commentator, he wrote to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s most eminent practioner of the art, John "Motty" Motson, who replied with a personally typed letter (pictured). 26 years on, Motty and Ian Dennis - now 5live's senior football reporter - spoke about the experience. This clip is originally from 5 live Daily on November 3 2014.
