John McBeth has been a sports broadcaster for almost 50 years so can quite justifiably be termed a "veteran".
John McBeth has slowed down after a career in sports broadcasting which spanned four decades.
He says he was in danger of forgetting many of the major events he had commentated at but writing his book “It’s Over!!” refreshed his memory.
From covering All Black rugby tours from the mid 1980’s, Olympic and Commonwealth Games from 1982 and four America’s Cup yachting regattas from the historic successful challenge in San Diego, John McBeth has plenty of stories to entertain you and perhaps even refresh YOUR memories!
Among many highlights John might talk about, there’s Sean Fitzpatrick’s first embarrassing interview as an All Black, commentating Danyon Loader’s two Olympic gold medals in Atlanta, falling asleep during a Winter Olympic event in Sochi and a horrendous journey to get to Siberia for a major event.
His commentating career might be nearing an end, but his ability to talk about those highlights continues.
Backed by his years of experience as a TV presenter and sports broadcaster - John is an entertaining and polished MC and speaker.
