Richard John Gwynne (23 April 1945 – 9 July 2022) was an English teacher, sports commentator and reporter.
Upon leaving, he went into teaching, and taught English and was Deputy Housemaster (Fisher) at Moston Brook High School in Manchester.
Gwynne had commentated on some darts tournaments for regional ITV programmes with Dave Lanning,[4] and when the darts split occurred in 1993, Sky Sports took up coverage of WDC (later to become the PDC) tournaments, choosing Lanning and Gwynne to be the event commentators.
Gwynne was master of ceremonies at arts exhibitions and ran local darts tournaments in the Manchester area.
[11] In September 2020, in conjunction with David Mitchell and with a foreword by Jeff Stelling, Gwynne published a memoir of his football memories, Soccer Satisfied.
