Charlotte Green will replace James Alexander Gordon to read the classified football results on BBC Radio 5 Live, it was announced today.
Gordon stepped down from the role last month after nearly 40 years in the job because of throat surgery.
Green said: "I'm delighted to be offered this opportunity as I've been a football fan all my life.
"In fact, as a six year old I used to sit at the dining room table reading the football scores out loud from the newspaper, so this really is a dream come true."
Green will begin work for 5 Live on September 28.
