A giant of our profession who became part of our Sunday morningsBy CHRISTOPHER DAVIES
Brian Woolnough, possibly the most famous face in football writing, died today aged 63.
Wooly, as he was known, started on the Esher News, moving to the Evening Post in Hemel Hempstead before starting a 27-year career with The Sun where he became chief football writer. In 2001 he moved to the Daily Star as a sports columnist but became well known to the football world through talkSPORT and Sky Sports where he initially hosted Hold The Back Page in 1994 and, more recently, the Sunday Supplement.

In Memoriam: Brian Woolnough
By ANDY DUNN, FWA ChairmanWE knew this day was coming – but it makes it no easier. Sports journalism has lost a giant of a man.
Brian Woolnough was simply the foremost football reporter of his generation.
When we pay tribute, we should retire the centre seat of the front row at every England press conference.
