Series 13 - Episode 1: Jon Champion

Published on: 9th March, 2025

When Jon Champion persuaded his parents to let him skip orchestra practice to go to Bootham Crescent, even he couldn’t have predicted the chain of events that followed this seminal moment. This interview discusses the long suffering support of his hometown club but also how this all coincided with forging his successful career in broadcasting, which started with a fluent but drunken match report.

This interview was conducted by Dan Tait, edited and produced by James Charters. The episode is sponsored by the Nearly Departed App.
