A BARNSLEY esports commentator has just concluded the finals of the ePremier League where the winner took home £30,000.
Richard Buckley 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.
He has just finished commentating on the ePremier League, of which Manchester City’s team were victorious.
They took home £30,000 out of a £100,000 prize pot after beating Brighton and Hove Albion in the final 6-5.
