I began my career at the age of 17 in 1956. The assignment was to cover a rugby match involving Saracens & Wasps in London and my new boss at Hayter's Agency sent it over to be published in The Times. Working 7 days a week, loving every minute, I never looked back. I know full well how totally different life is now but it does not not change my opinion of the best way to become a journalist. Get out and do it.
