Adrian Durham (born 13 May 1969, Dogsthorpe, Peterborough, England) is a football journalist and broadcaster.

Career

Durham currently hosts TalkSPORT's "Drivetime" Monday-Thursday between 4:00pm–7:00pm alongside ex-cricketer Darren Gough. Durham styles himself as the world's only Peterborough United fan.[1][2]

Durham has accused Thierry Henry of going missing in big games.[3]

Jamie Carragher incident

On 9 July 2007, Liverpool and England defender Jamie Carragher announced he was considering retiring from international football. For this, Durham labelled Carragher a "bottler".[4] Durham did not repeat this opinion when Carragher called in to his programme to disagree with Durham's statement. Durham tried to play down his comments when faced with the player's challenge to meet him at Liverpool training ground for a face to face discussion.[5]
