David Burns (born 26 April 1959 in Glasgow, Scotland) is a British radio presenter working for the BBC. He is best known for his sports commentary, analysis and discussion on BBC Radio Humberside.[1]

Biography[]

He is currently the presenter of the mid-morning programme at BBC Radio Humberside.[2] He also commentates on Hull City games, where he is affectionately known as Burnsy.

His co-presenters on air are Gwilym Lloyd, Matt Dean and Mike White. He is also regularly joined by former Hull City, Scunthorpe United and Grimsby Town players – notably Peter Swan and George Kerr.[3] In May 2011, the sports team of David Burns, John Tondeur, Matt Dean, Mike White and John Anguish won a Sony bronze award in the best sports programme category for their coverage of Grimsby Town's relegation.

In mid-2011, he moved to a non-sport daytime programme, discussing the day's news and playing music between 09:00 and 12:00 daily. He continues to present commentary on Hull City, but is no longer active on Sports Talk during weekday evenings.
