Bill Leslie (commentator)
- Bill Leslie (commentator)
Bill Leslie is a leading British football commentator, working chiefly for Sky Sports.
After a spell with London radio station Capital Gold, Leslie transferred to Sky in 2003 - initially to work on coverage of the UEFA Champions League and soon after helped launch Football First in 2004. He commentated on the first "Game Of The Day" between Bolton Wanderers and Charlton Athletic at the start of the 2004/2005 season.
Since the departure of Ian Crocker to Setanta Sports in the summer of 2006, Leslie has taken over his role as primary commentator on the Football League and Sky's Scottish football output. Key matches covered include the 2007 Scottish Cup Final, Scotland internationals - including home and away victories against France in the Euro 2008 Qualifying campaign - and the Championship Play-Off Final in 2007 and 2008. He was also part of the commentary team for the 2007 UEFA Under-21 Championship - a tournament he covered in 2002 for Channel Five.
Leslie has also taken on live Premier League commentary duties too, his debut coming on the clash between Birmingham City and Aston Villa in the 2005/2006 season for the now defunct PremPlus service. In the 2008/2009 campaign he graduated to a more regular role on Premier League coverage.
