Chatting with the future king, interviewing global pop stars, a hugely successful podcast and a fan of watfordfc - Chris Stark tells his story of supporting the Hornets and hitting the heights on radio
“In football terms, starting out at Radio 1 was a bit like just playing Sunday League initially and desperately wanting to work up through the ranks. Radio was always something I’ve wanted to do from a very young age, and when I started out it was just a case of being at the bottom and trying to progress myself.
“I’ve left Radio 1, which was a huge part of my life. I grew up there. But now I’m part of another great family and I’m so excited about what the future holds, and all the amazing plans we have for Capital and Global.“But yeah, in a transfer window sense, I moved to Capital and I’m doing the breakfast show with Roman and Sian.“I’ve been here a few months now and I’m really enjoying it. I have to make early starts – I leave the house about 4.
“So yeah, in football terms, I am really happy to have been able to be a one-club man for so many years, and then have the chance to make a really big move to another big club, and still feel as excited as I did when I made my debut.Along with his mate Mills, Stark not only presented on Radio 1 but also on Radio 5 Live, where he was part of the programming that built up to the day’s live sport each Saturday.
However, as much as radio has given Stark some tremendous opportunities and memories, it has also robbed him of the chance to watch the Hornets as much as he wants to.“Radio work means a lot of travelling to DJ as well each weekend, so most Fridays and Saturdays I’ll be out somewhere DJing. The two combined means it’s hard for me to see as many games as I’d like.
However, Stark is underplaying just how much exposure and airtime he manages to give the Golden Boys, particularly via the hugely successful ‘That Peter Crouch Podcast’. However, Stark admits that given Crouch is now 42, he’s finally given up on one thing he was very keen to do. “My parents weren’t really into football, but going to that school meant I was in Watford a lot more and my best mate went to every home game with his Dad. I remember meeting my mate one day in town, and I walked down with him after that and went to the game.
“It was the early 2000s and I just loved being a fan of the club. On the day of GCSE results coming out my Mum bought me a Watford shirt and I thought it was the best thing ever. I remember her opening the boot of the car and there was the shirt, and it felt brilliant.
