Martin Johnson (journalist) – RIP

The sad reached me yesterday of the death of Martin Johnson, a great character and one of the most gifted fellow sporting pen-pushers (or should that be “keyboard-tappers”?)  to have graced media centres at UK sports grounds over the last four decades.

[Hopefully the link – working perfectly as I type – will not “disappear” by the time some of our readers try to follow the link. I apologise in advance if this happens: some Guardian articles eventually do because of the newspaper’s policy of trying to force its website viewers to pay for access to them …]
