A Miner's Lamp and a Brass Table

Yorkshire sporting heroes, Sir Ian McGeechan and Sir Geoffrey Boycott,  are just two of the personalities covered by journalist Guy Williams as  he reflects on more than 50 years working in the media. 

Whether writing for newspapers and magazines or employed by the  BBC and Yorkshire Television reporting on news and sport, most of his  career has been spent living in Yorkshire. 

As well as writing on cricket and rugby union, Guy has also done many  stories with a wide range of public figures from politics, show business  and industry. 

He continues to write for The Cricket Paper and The Rugby Paper,  The Yorkshire Post and its magazine. 

Guy says he’s been lucky to live and work in Yorkshire, and thanks  Yorkshire people for making his career so much fun. Amidst a media  revolution, A Miner’s Lamp and a Brass Table, recalls an era which, in his  case, had some certainty and stability.
