London, spring 1998. A million miles away and now more than 25 years ago. A 21-year-old journalism graduate dead set on getting his career started arrives for his first day at work at Sky Sports.
His lack of any broadcasting experience radiated from every pore - but his relief and joy at getting a start in something - anything - in sports journalism drove him beyond the nerves and bewilderment.That graduate was me - but this story isn't about me… it's about the adventure that started a few months later and has been rolling ever since.
What it needed to make it true was good production staff, reporters, news editors, picture editors, presenters and directors. A huge recruitment drive saw new colleagues arriving throughout the summer of 1998 - and after just three months I was no longer the new kid. Not even close! When people arrive, it is impossible to know that they might play a huge part in your life, let alone your career - but that is exactly what happened.
