About 25 years when I finally stopped after about 400 grands prix, we marvelled at my naivety as we went round Berkshire golf course at a Press Golf Society outing where David, a past captain, would produce the hip flask, and two of his sons and myself would laugh our way way along the fairways. After giving non-league football unprecedented coverage, David turned his attention to the Football League and rugby union with equal success. His outstanding contribution to rugby journalism was recently recognised by the Rugby Union Writers’ Club. She is also commemorated in Greenford in London by a street called Lilian [sic] Board Way. Note incorrect spelling of first name. His other call was to me, another old Expressman, who’d crossed the street to join The Mail on Sunday launch, then became tennis correspondent of the Daily Mail. David probably had me at, ‘Hello…’

He was the biggest influence on so many Fleet Street careers

Every penny it made went to cancer charities. Lillian’s father, George, ‘marvelled’ at David’s work, telling one of the writer’s confidantes: “He’s some man, that Emery.’’ Board ran two-mile races early in the 1970 campaign, partly to build up stamina for the 800 m and partly with the aim of becoming the first athlete to represent Britain at all distances, the 1500 m being the only one missing from her collection. After running a solid 4:55.7 on her miling debut, she was selected for an international mile race in Rome on 16 May. Here she improved her personal best to 4:44.6, finishing second to a former mile world record holder, Paola Pigni of Italy. Her time moved her to No 2 in the UK all-time lists for the women's mile, behind only another former world record holder at the distance, Anne Smith.

This may seem like a ruling on a technical point of law, but in truth it provides vital clarity which will have important implications for police accountability when force is used.

Emery… - The Rugby Paper He’s quite some man, that Emery… - The Rugby Paper

In terms of the W80 case itself, we will now review our original decision as to whether there remains a disciplinary case to answer, taking into account this judgment, evidence heard during the Public Inquiry, and further representations from W80 and Jermaine’s family.

Even the greatest writer needs reassurance and Jim was certainly one of the greatest I knew in 30 years in Fleet Street. A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: "We were called to reports of a medical emergency. One ambulance and a paramedic officer attended the scene.

I’ve worked under many bosses in this business. The brilliant, the very good indeed and a couple who were complete incompetents and blaggers. I suspect that’s the same ratio as life generally.

An hour later, certainly no more than 70 minutes, Lawton provided the most powerful and coruscating dispatch of his life. A Dylan Thomas-style polemic against the dying of the light, the end of innocence for sport. Of all the brilliant journalists and scintillating personalities Jim Lawton encountered in his glittering career, none had a deeper impact on his literary offerings than his wife Linda. And so it came to pass that, while escorting a somewhat sceptical girlfriend home from a night out, Emery took a detour via the local athletics club. In his rush to make the right impression, it escaped his notice that the long jump pit was under repair. By the time David Emery invited me to move from being rugby correspondent for the Scottish Daily Express to London, I already knew him well, had time to wander the rabbit warren corridors of the Fleet Street building and was keen to go south.
