Angus Loughran
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angus Loughran is a British sports commentator and pundit. He appears regularly on television, newspapers and websites, usually concentrating on horse racing and football, such as the Daily Telegraph and www.easyodds.com writing tipping sections every day. He has also provided English language football commentary for Eurosport and ESPN.
He first rose to fame as "Statto", the resident statistician on the BBC Two television show Fantasy Football League. Clad in a dressing gown and pyjamas, he would stand in the corner of the set and provide facts and figures on each of the guests' fantasy football teams, while being made fun of by hosts Frank Skinner and David Baddiel.
He is a fan of Altrincham F.C.
During an episode of Fantasy Football League, archive footage was shown of a person, allegedly Loughran, offering a chair during a Test match to notorious blocker Chris Tavaré. The implication was that Tavaré must be tired, hence his lack of scoring.
