Notts County supporters will know the name, Colin Slater. He has been reporting on Notts County for BBC Radio Nottingham since 1968. Find out more about Colin by reading his portfolio.
Colin was awarded an MBE in 2001 for his services to the community and in recognition of his charity work and long service as a local magistrate. Not originally from Notts, he moved in 1959 to join the Nottingham Evening News as a journalist. When The Evening News merged with The Evening Post in 1963, Colin continued to report on Notts, playing a key role in saving the club from bankruptcy in 1965. He then joined the original cast of BBC Radio Nottingham broadcasters to provide reports on Notts and the County cricket team.
