    Tris Dixon, Steve Farhood and Glyn Leach are my favourites.

    The biggest wankers of them all are Hugh "Spew" Keevins and Jim "More Monikers than Ilich Ramírez Sánchez" Bagg.

    You did well to get a job after a degree. I went the same route, worked for my local paper for a while but for free and had to give it up and have found no work in journalism ever since.

    I give my full respect to anyone who eventually gets good paid work out of it because it's a very long road.

    You don't like him? Or querying the 'modern' tag? If so I meant still writing.

    I just don't think he's anything special. Fond of hyperbole, slack in his structure, and a bit twee.

    He's not bad, just like a poor man's Schulberg.

    Tris Dixon, Matt Christie, Danny Flexen, Ben Dirs, Donald McRae.

    And one that I haven't seen mentioned is Kieran Mulvaney who works for ESPN, his Heavy Hitting podcast is ****ing brilliant.
