Gary Imlach

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gary Imlach (born 1960, West Bridgford[1]) is a British author, journalist and broadcaster, specialising in sport. Imlach is particularly associated with non-mainstream sports, working for many years as the face of Channel 4's coverage of American Football and the Tour de France, having transferred to ITV when the station bought the television rights to the cycle race. He has also hosted the late night sports chat show "Live and Dangerous", and currently presents ITV's coverage of the Tour de France as well as their Super Bowl coverage. He also does links between programmes on the British version of ESPN Classic. In September 2010, Imlach resumed presenting duties on Channel 4's coverage of American Football, but was replaced by Danny Kelly ahead of the 2011 season.[2]

Imlach's biography of his father Stewart Imlach, My Father and Other Working Class Football Heroes, won the William Hill Sports Book of the Year (2005),[3] and the Best New Writer of the British Sports Book Awards (2006).[4]
