Webbo’s sporting journalistic prowess will not have gone unnoticed, fronting live events and chat shows.

He also co-narrated the multi-sport programme Gillette World Sports Special.
He’s also worked on a variety of programmes for Channel 5 hosting all their main American sports shows, plus their multi-sport programme Live & Dangerous, usually alongside his old mate Kevin Day. In August 2010 he started presenting the popular football podcast The Whistleblowers which he still occasionally appears on nearly a decade later.
His DJ years have included Mark hosting Kiss FM’s breakfast show and then later, the Xfm breakfast show. He’s also worked for Jazz FM, TalkSPORT and BBC Radio 5 Live with the likes of Simon Mayo.
Along with freelance stuff for publications like The Face, Loaded & GQ, writing ‘style’ articles covering fashion, film, design and music, you can see he’s a busy lad, let’s just hope one day Mark makes a return to our field of dreams!
