Born in Bradford in 1934, Colin Slater grew up supporting the Bantams. Having begun his journalist career working on local newspapers in West Yorkshire, he moved to Nottingham in 1959 to join Nottingham's other evening newspaper The Nottingham Evening News for which he also reported on Notts County affairs in their Saturday publication The Football News (a then more popular rival to The Football Post). His first Notts match was a home victory against Chester on 22nd August 1959.
The Evening News merged with The Evening Post in 1963, Colin continued to report on Notts and played a key role in saving the club from bankruptcy in 1965. In 1968 he joined the original cast of BBC radio Nottingham broadcasters to provide reports on Notts and the County cricket team, his first audio report on Notts was of a 5-0 defeat at Lincoln City, but he was later able to enjoy commentating on the victory at Chelsea in 1981 that secured promotion to the top flight and the successful Wembley play off finals of 1990 and 1991.
Uncle Colin has now been closely associated with the Magpies for almost 50 years, providing regular full match commentaries since the late 1980's as well as contributing a regular column to the matchday programme. He was awarded the M.B.E in 2001, not just for his work in radio, but for his other services which included his role as Deputy Chairman of the Nottingham Bench of Magistrates, public relations work for the FA and Chairman of the Lord Taveners. On 17th November 2007 he covered his 2,000th match for Radio Nottingham.

You can hear Colin commentating on all Notts matches, Home and Away, on Radio Nottingham's Northern 95.5FM frequency broadcast from the transmitter near Mansfield on Fishponds hill, or on Radio Nottingham's DAB digital service. Colin is also a regular on Radio Nottingham's Matchtalk phone-in programme, Mondays at 6pm.
