He now presents the late night phone in on BBC Radio Manchester and BBC Radio Lancashire
Prior to becoming a radio presenter, Beswick worked as a soldier, a bus driver and a mental health nurse and for the Citizen's Advice Bureau; during his time at the C.A.B. he began to appear as a guest on Dave Lincoln and Friends, a programme on Radio City 194m MW (1548 kHz) and 96.7MHz VHF / FM, an independent commercial station in Liverpool
In the mid to late eighties, he worked for Lancashire station Red Rose Radio [ 97.3MHz later 97.4MHz FM and 301m MW (999 kHz) ] where he initially presented an afternoon show which won him a Sony national radio award
He then presented a late-night phone-in The Allan Beswick Late Night Show
which drew listeners and controversy in nearly equal measure
His listening figures for this late night slot often drew audiences equal to those of many radio stations breakfast shows
The overall 'audience reach' of the programme drew in the region of 100,000 listeners per night, but a total listenership across the North West, West Yorkshire and North Wales often approached 500,000 listeners
He was well known for his straight-talking, uncompromising style, ability to argue his case stubbornly, and penchant for insulting callers with whom he disagreed or didn't like
He was also known for his on-air professed dislike of Liverpudlians ("scousers"), which perversely made him extremely popular with Liverpool listeners, as they felt he typified woollybacks - people from outside the city - and all that was wrong with them
He has since said it was an act and he has no problem with Merseysiders

Linda: BC obviously has limited intellect judging by the comment.
