“With Marc Isaacs recently promoted to be our football editor in London, and Nick Johnson heading our Yorkshire operation, we believe we’ve a strong base from which to develop into other parts of the country.”
Clive is the son of the late Len Hetherington, who covered Sunderland for the Newcastle Evening Chronicle for 22 years until 1978.
