Durham joined Talksport in 1999. He hosted the station's "Drive" programme on weekdays between 4pm and 7pm for 16 years. His co-hosts included footballer Ian Wright and cricketer Darren Gough. In July 2022, Durham left the Drivetime show. He still hosts Talksport's live football coverage.[2]
In 2010, Durham styled himself as the world's only celebrity Peterborough United fan.[3][4] He was described in The Guardian as an "expert phone-in troll, arrogantly spouting inflammatory football opinions in the hope of prompting some indignant phone rage from an uppity fan."[5] He once accused Jamie Carragher of being a "bottler" for retiring from international football, which prompted the Liverpool and England defender to call in to the show to confront Durham.[6] His criticism of Celtic manager Neil Lennon prompted a phone call from Celtic fan Rod Stewart, who gave Durham a "gentle lashing".[5]
