David Emery (Sports Journalist). Note: David Emery redirects to David F. Emery US politician.

Lillian Board refers to David Emery. Needs wikilink.

David Emery (13 October 1946 - 4 June 4 2023 ^[1]) was a sports journalist and author. He was chief sports writer and sports editor at the Daily Express, founded a number of sports newspapers, and wrote the biography of Lillian Board Lillian.

In 1966, he was a district reporter on the Surrey Comet, having completed a journalism training course.^[2]

His first job in Fleet Street was with the Daily Mail. 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.

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.

David was also a long-time supporter of the Sports Journalists’ Association, serving on the committee and taking over the chairman’s role in 1986.

After leaving the Express in 1996 he worked for the Press Association and he launched the weekly newspaper "Sport First" in March 1998 which quickly achieved a circulation of more than 100,000.

This was followed by the publication of weeklys "The Football League Paper", "The Non-League Paper" (2000), "The Cricket Paper" and "The Rugby Paper" (2008) and "The Hockey Paper" 2016 ^[3]by his publishing company Greenways Media.
