Lord Russell is an enormously respected figure amongst many of the leading professional sportsmen and women in such diverse sports as football, snooker and darts. Some of the famous names he has worked with include ex-Ipswich Town, Glasgow Rangers and England captain Terry Butcher, former world snooker champions Steve Davis and Ronnie O’Sullivan as well as three more former world champions in John Lowe, Eric Bristow and Keith Deller from the world of professional darts.

He’s now committed his life story to print! Lord Russell’s first book, My Way, was first published in 2021. It is an honest and very frank retelling of his life so far.

Lord Russell’s life has been, and remains, a colourful one, full of exploration and adventure. Yet, for all of the escapades that have highlighted his life so far, he remains most driven by the desire to help others enjoy it as much as he does.

Lord Russell has appeared on BBC Radio. Local Radio and TV.

I’ve loved working in radio since my first direct involvement with a show which came about when I appeared as a guest on BBC Radio Norfolk’s popular programme The Scrimmage.

The skills and expertise shown by the presenter coupled with the intimacy of the small studio setting and the obvious chemistry that existed between me and my fellow guests left me in no doubt that I wanted to include working in radio as part of my professional portfolio, whether that was as a programme researcher, producer or presenter.

I have since appeared on a number of BBC Radio Norfolk programmes as a studio guest and contributor as well as, on several occasions, being asked to carry out some research for a specific show.
