“The emphasis was always on good writing,” he said.

“As well as regulars John Woodcock, Mark Nicholas, Vic Marks, Paul Allott, Matthew Fleming and the current editor Simon Hughes on board, I was chuffed to add people like Simon Barnes and Ted Dexter as well as giving young players like Mike Atherton, Nasser Hussain, Mark Butcher, Andrew Strauss, Paul Collingwood and Clare Connor their first commissions.”
