My Week: Dan Johnson
Dan Johnson, Premier League Director of Communications on a ‘spy’ at a Premier League meeting...banning journalists...and an Arsenal/Spurs groundsharePart of the continued appeal of working in football and the media is the varied nature of the issues and never quite knowing what each day is going to bring.
