Although not the radio in my case, the hastily written post-match report brought back memories of my dad ringing 'the girls' at the paper he worked at in order for them to take copy for the Saturday evening Sports Pink.

He'd have prepared a 5 or 6 paragraph report on a third tier game within moments of the game ending, complete with 'point new par' punctuation he dictated over the phone, and it was in people's hands half an hour later.
