John Boy Saint Posted 16 June, 2013 Share Posted 16 June, 2013 was Ian Dowie the Rocket Scientist? He has a masters degree in Engineering and worked for British Aerospace which in The Sun equals Rocket Scientary! Have you never though that he looks like a weird scientist when Jeff Stelling says "and now over to Ian Dowie at the City Ground to see how Forest are getting on......." And bingo there is Dowie looking like the cameraman has just pointed a shotgun at him and flicked off the safety! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
