Ashley Morrison

Ashley Morrison was born in Salisbury, England, in 1964. His family moved to Swindon in 1966. At the age of seven he first went to the County Ground to watch Swindon Town Football Club, and ever since red and white has coursed through his veins, and we are not talking corpuscles!

He went away to school at the age of seven, at Stowe School it became abundantly clear that his focus was more on the playing fields than the classroom. This focus lead to cricket trials with Hampshire and a place in the Wiltshire team. He toured Australia in 1983 with a schoolboy team; little did he know he would end up living there.

His working career has been rich and varied, with time spent as a teacher, debt collector, film extra, designing kitchens, and two weeks with the Department of Health and Social Security.

Before leaving England for a life Down Under he worked for Wiltshire Newspapers, and the media bug bit. In Australia he worked for Impact Publications in Perth, publishers of Traveltalk and Aircargo Asia-Pacific magazines. Then followed yet another career change that has seen him take up his current position as the Cargo Manager Australia for South African Airways, based in Perth.

A twist of fate found him given a job on Radio 6NR, which led to him ending up as part of the sports commentary team on Radio 6PR. He continues to broadcast the Hyundai A league games on radio as well as games involving the national team.

He plans many other adventures with his wife Quie-Ying by his side.
