John Rowlinson: Boys of ’66

John Rowlinson will be signing copies of his book before the home match.

John Rowlinson trained as a journalist after a history degree at Cambridge where he played football for the university. He enjoyed a long career with BBC TV Sport where he was responsible — among many other events — for the World Cup, Wimbledon and Olympic coverage. He then spent seven years as Director of Television at the All England Club, Wimbledon, before joining the Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games as Head of Broadcast for London 2012.

We’re opposite the The Champions statue, while it’s still there!
