Brian Woolnough is a British sports journalist, currently the Chief Sports writer for tabloid the Daily Star.
Previously a writer for The Sun, in 1999 the Daily Mirror tried unsuccessfully to poach him.[1] Woolnough was lured to the Daily Star in 2001 after owner Richard Desmond authorised a £200,000 pay package.[2]
In December 2004, following Norwich City's 4-0 defeat at Chelsea, Woolnough produced a Monday morning column that enraged Norwich fans, saying that that City were "gutless," that they would "stink the place out" with Premiership performances of a similar ilk, and that he "Hopes they go down, and good riddance." This instantly turned Woolnaugh into public enemy number 1 in Norwich, and although refusing to withdraw his comments, he later visited Carrow Road after receiving 450 e-mails and the local newspaper getting involved with the debate.[3]
Since 2007, Woolnough has been the presenter of Sky Sport's Sunday Supplement, replacing Jimmy Hill and regularly spewing out an anti Manchester United agenda. He is a lifelong ABU just like Paul Brannan.
