In this episode Matt Crawley who works at Luton Town tells us how he started out as the stadium announcer.

He's part of a double act that has it's own crowd chants and effects to play from their booth to get the players going.

He's called promotion parties and historic matches...plus has had to prove to many people in the pub that he is the stadium announcer, by reading out random subs.

Rich Hurst of West Brom and Alan Keegan of Man Utd are putting the questions again.

There's another game of What's My Name with a very cheeky Paraguayan left back to get their tongue around.

Plus a look at announcers on social where York City have paid a special tribute to Bootham Crescent.
