Charlotte Green set to announce if she will replace James Alexander Gordon as classified football results voice Former Radio Four newsreader Green appears to have been offered the chance to conquer one of the male bastions of sports reporting barely seven months after cutting her ties completely with the corporation. Upon taking voluntary redundancy back in January, the 57-year-old was quoted as saying: "The BBC's days of employing people who sound like me are more or less over." But the woman once voted "most attractive female voice on national radio" looks to have been asked to replace Gordon, who announced his retirement last month following throat surgery. The 77-year-old Scot stepped down after nearly 40 years calling the scores at 5pm on Saturday afternoons, with Test Match Special reporter Kevin Howells stepping in while a replacement was found. It is said the BBC was keen to end what has been a male preserve and appoint a woman, with Green seen as the ideal candidate, having once been voted the "most attractive female voice on national radio." BBC Sport's previous high-profile attempt to promote female voice talent saw Jacqui Oatley become the first woman commentator for Match of the Day, although she is no longer involved in the programme. Green, who has been working for Classic FM since leaving the BBC, hit the headlines in 2008 when she dissolved into an uncontrollable fit of giggles - know in broadcasting as "corpsing" - after reporting for Radio Four on a story about the first recording of the human voice.
