What's It Like Being A Sports Reporter for 30 years? Neil Moxley

What’s it like to cover your own football club — through chaos, sackings, court cases, and glory? In this explosive episode, veteran journalist Neil Moxley reflects on 33 years in the game, from Fleet Street to front-page exclusives.

Moxley opens up on:
• His complicated love for Birmingham City
• The truth behind Carson Yeung – pawn or villain?
• Being threatened after reporting on St. Andrew’s stadium issues
• How modern media abuse has made him more guarded
• Fallout with Aitor Karanka – “did anyone get on with him?”
• Loyalty to Garry Rowett, and why his sacking was “just wrong”
• The appointment of Zola and the chaos that followed
• Doing his homework before Wayne Rooney arrived – “I knew the signs”
• The emotional toll of being the “bearer of bad news” for his boyhood club

This isn’t just a football podcast — it’s a rare, raw look at the pressure, ethics, and emotions behind the headlines. If you’ve ever wondered what really goes on in the world of sports reporting, this is a must-listen.
