Chris Goffey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chris Goffey is a British journalist, best known as a presenter of the BBC motoring television series Top Gear. Goffey crossed over to Channel 4 in the mid 1980s and worked with two motoring programmes (The Motor Show and Wheeltracks) before returning to Top Gear. He has also worked on many different corporate, instructional, and motivational films for a variety of clients.
[edit] Top Gear
Chris Goffey's demeanor was deliberately understated, calm, and practical when dealing with all road tests on Top Gear. His beard, formal atire, and common sense were a direct foil to the more youthful and in-your-face antics of his colleague Jeremy Clarkson. However, Goffey has always had an erstwhile interest in motorsport. During a race among all the Top Gear presenters in SEAT Ibizas in 1997, Clarkson noted that the last time Goffey had been on a track, he had been "tearing the tires off an Audi 80".
He is the father of the Supergrass drummer Danny Goffey, who, coincidentally, appeared on the 2007 Top Gear comic relief special, Top Gear of the Pops.
