Absolute Radio has signed comedian and presenter Matt Forde to present the station’s Rock n Roll Football Show.  The football entertainment show is packed with an upbeat indie rock soundtrack, goals and a look at the lighter side of the game. 

Matt will be joined by existing co-host and fellow Nottingham Forest fan Matt Dyson.

Commenting on the signing, Absolute Radio Content Director Paul Sylvester said, “Rock N Roll Football is an institution on Absolute Radio and I’m delighted that Matt Forde is taking the chair on Saturday afternoons. It’s an alternative look at the game from the fan’s perspectives where we’re less bothered about starting line-ups and more interested in compiling the Top 10 worst Premier League haircuts. I’d also like to thank Rob Beckett for the four seasons he’s been on the show and how he’s re-invented the programme.”

Commenting on joining the station, Matt Forde said, “I'm delighted to be joining Rock 'n' Roll Football on Absolute Radio, as I'm a fan of Rock 'n' Roll, football and Absolute Radio... and I'm not just saying that because they're my new employers. I can't wait to get started with Matt Dyson and hope that we'll be the best Forest partnership since Collymore and Roy" 

Rock and Roll Football, with Matt Forde and Matt Dyson will launch on Saturday 11th August, 2-5pm.
