FWA Q&A: MARK GLEESON
MARK GLEESON on a free Camel in the press box...a rat-infested room in Brazzaville...and some Hot Chilli Peppers in the barHave you ever worked in a profession other than football?
I started my journalistic career covering the courts, schools fetes and the ladies society’s tea parties but thankfully that did not last long. I got a chance to cover football very early on in my career, first as a substitute and quickly thereafter full-time.
