I'm Dotton Addy Biome, a broadcaster, also a book publisher and an aspiring writer.

But for my sins, support Chartnathiletic Mahat is in Tottenham, not just the club, but also

in the area. And of course, I am the referee on the BBC Apple Night's World Football Foning.

Yeah, I'm the bastard in black that you all hate.

You know what? I feel as if I've sort of undersold our chat by not opening with the real

sounds of Africa. First for us, isn't it really? I am a football fan. I am a soccer fan.

with the kids that in my area. Basically, I grew up in Tottenham at that point.

Yeah. And at that time, we would have probably only been in Tottenham for a couple of months.

But I remember arriving in Tottenham in a black cab. I was telling somebody the story of the

other day. Obviously, you know, our family were poor and we were, we took the tube to Manor House

station and then my father thought, oh, we've got to arrive in style. So let's jump into a black
