After covering the women’s game in England for two decades (the #Lionesses thanked him with a signed shirt), writing for many of the nationals and also for She Kicks, women’s football reporter Tony Leighton has retired.
He’s seen so much and done so much for the game and he’s an all-round great guy too, because before they headed off to a swanky do, he agreed to sit down with SK Editor Jen O’Neill for a beer and a chat about his time in the women’s game and a bit more besides…
(And if you were doubting what ‘pros’ they both are, Tony had made notes beforehand on a page of newspaper (left) & Jen had scribbled on a piece of hotel notepaper, ha ha!)
Absolute Living legend of a man and reporter always professional unbiased and respectful . proud to call him a friend in and out of football . loads of love Keith & Pauline (Copey) Boanas xx
