Edward Stourton

in ,

Very sorry to hear of the passing of Edward Stourton after a twelve year battle with prostate cancer.

Stourton had a distinguished career in broadcasting, working for the BBC and ITN. He spent nearly a decade presenting Radio 4’s flagship Today programme, presented the One O’Clock News, Any Questions, Radio 4’s Sunday and BBC One’s Panorama.
Paying tribute, his colleague from the Today Programme James Naughtie praised Stourton's "great integrity and humanity", adding that he "had a kind of infectious decency which lifted people up”

Tony Adams on My Last Drink

in , , ,

After England were knocked out of Euro 96, Tony Adams, the Arsenal and England captain, drowned his sorrows on an epic scale.

In this month’s Oldie magazine, former England captain, Tony Adams writes an emotional and incredibly personal account of his struggle with alcoholism. The last drink ‘… if you can’t remember your last drink, you haven’t had it.’
