BARNSLEY man Richard Buckley is in the midst of commentating on the FC 25 Pro Open in London where the winner walks away with more than £400,000.
Richard grew up in Mapplewell, attending Wellgate Primary School before moving to Smithies and attending Darton College.
He then went on to study at Barnsley College – and that’s when his dream of becoming a sports journalist really started to pick up pace.
Having left to study in Manchester, Richard met his now co-commentator Brandon Smith and the duo are now watched by millions worldwide commentating on the EA FC game – formerly FIFA.
The FC Pro Open brings together the 24 best players in the world and runs weekly until the final in February.
More than 800,000 views have been registered in the first two weeks.
The winner will walk away with an eye-watering $520,000.
