Soccer AM: Helen Chamberlain (251 words)
Poor old Helen was not just born in the West-Country, but she is a dedicated fan of Division 4's Torquay United, and can often be found speeding down the motorway from the Soccer AM studio, trying to get to Plainmoor in time to see her beloved Gulls playing.
There appears to be much local rivalry between the Devon clubs, and Helen therefore hates Plymouth and Exeter, so it is very rather strange that she decided to call her pet dog 'Grecian' (Exeter's nickname).
However, Helen has a fear of flying so has never left the country and is sadly a vegetarian (not that kind though).
