How Allan Lamb f***ed up his radio career

The Guardian's Mike Selvey reflects on Geoffrey Boycott's unfortunate slip of the tongue in the Test Match Special commentary box. Selvey, a former TMS regular, remembers a similar incident during his very first stint at the microphone. Readers of a sensitive disposition, look away now. "Allan Lamb, playing in the match, was doing a brief guest appearance when a wicket fell to a questionable umpiring decision. 'Fuck me,' said Lamb in his richest Langebaanweg accent. [Producer Peter] Baxter quickly scribbled a note and placed it in front of him: 'You can't say fuck on air.' 'Shit,' said Lamby, 'did I say that?' I'm not sure if he ever did another stint."
