He also worked on the Daily Star in its very early years but it was at the Daily Express that he really made his name.
He established himself as one of the top sports writers in the country on the Express, covering the 1984 Olympics where he filed on the Zola Budd/Mary Decker drama for a 4amspecial (remember them!).
He also covered the Mexico World Cup in 1986, reporting on Maradona’s Hand of God goal before being appointed sports editor later that year, a position he held for a decade which saw the paper move from hot metal and Fleet Street to computers and Blackfriars.
He built an impressive team of reporters and gave a number of young journalists their big break on both the production and writing side.
An energetic and enthusiastic sports editor, whose first sporting love was athletics, he engendered great loyalty in those who worked for him.
After leaving the Express in 1996 he worked for the Press Association before setting up the weekly titles – the Football League Paper, Non-League Paper, Cricket Paper and Rugby Paper.

It was the summer of ‘66, what a year! I married Monica (we’re still together), West Ham, sorry, England, won the World Cup — and I was introduced to David Emery. He was a district reporter on the Surrey Comet, which I had just joined as a trainee sub. He had returned from a journalism training course.[2]
