FWA Q&A: Neil Harman
NEIL HARMAN on chatting with Sir Matt...Contemplation Point...and wonderful Fox piesHave you ever worked in a profession other than football?
If you count marking up the newspapers for delivery as a 14-year-old in Leigh-on-Sea and then doing shifts before and after school behind the counter in the same local newsagents, I suppose that's my only other profession. I left school at 16 and joining the Evening Echo, based in Basildon as a junior sports reporter and from there it has been journalism all the way.
