For posterity :)laserblue said:As Irani's Wiki page is blocked until 29th July I've taken the opportunity to edit Brazil's Wiki page to add a few comments about his co-presenter. Take a look before it's taken down.

Media career
In 2001 Brazil joined radio station talkSPORT as a co-presenter on the weekday 6–10am programme. He started off co-presenting with Station Director, Mike Parry, then Graham Beecroft and currently co-presents with Ronnie Irani, the well known plastic Manchester United fan, Twitter blocker, inveterate name dropper, shameless freeloader and serial liar. Brazil has an extensive knowledge of a variety of sports and invariably carries Irani, whose knowledge of sport is abysmal, through every show. The show has since been renamed the 'Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast'. Brazil was sacked from the position in 2004, after the Breakfast Show was broadcast at the Cheltenham Festival, from Tuesday to Thursday. Brazil missed the Friday show, but was reinstated.[citation needed]
Brazil has several catchphrases the most common being "Why" which is often said in quick repetition. On hearing a location Alan will usually say "I've never been" or "beautiful" depending on whether or not he has visited it.
