Paul Hawksbee
 |
Paul Hawksbee is a British sports radio presenter and comedy writer. He has presented the Hawksbee and Jacobs show alongside Andy Jacobs on talkSPORT since the station's inception in 2000.
He also contributed to the writing of ITV's Harry Hill's TV Burp,[1] Al Murray's Happy Hour, and the original Spitting Image.
In 1990 he sang the rap part on the England national football team & New Order collaboration ‘’World in Motion’’ prior to the 1990 FIFA World Cup. This proved highly controversial as John Barnes gained the credit for the vocals on the track. It later transpired (Milli Vanilli style) that Barnes had allegedly been miming on the track and video. Subsequently Hawksbee co-founded the weekly football magazine 90 Minutes with Clive Mendonca.[2]
Personal life
Hawksbee is a Tottenham fan.[3]
