End of an era as Bristol Rovers hero Geoff Twentyman announces BBC Radio Bristol retirement

After almost 30 years as the voice of sport for BBC Radio Bristol, Geoff Twentyman will step away from the microphone and retire at the end of the season.

Born in Liverpool, Twentyman has become synonymous with the city's sports scene since making more than 300 appearances for Bristol Rovers from 1986-93. After calling time on his playing career, he became the face of the BBC's coverage across the West Country, transcending the rivalry between Rovers and Bristol City to be greatly respected by both fanbases.

Twentyman, aged 64, will remain in his post until the end of this season, fronting popular programmes like Having A Gas, The Sound Of The City and The Scrum, as well as matchday coverage for City and Rovers' games.
