The 'unknown reviewer' was me (David Sutcliffe) from Rotherham, South Yorkshire. It happened v quickly and for reasons too complicated to explain found myself in Inverness. This coincided with Inverness Caledonian Thistle playing their first games in the Scottish league. I was (and still am) a big Peel show fan and rang and asked his assistant (Alison?) if I could do a report on the game v Queens Park. I explained that I wasn't in a band and had never done anything like it before
but Alison said that John was a bit tired of bands plugging their wares on the show so it would be fine. I lost the cassette of this years ago and was just googling around Peel sites to see if it was online and came across this site. I was terrible but it was and incredible thrill to speak to John - particularly off air
