The prospect of a heart transplant hasn’t stopped TalkSport breakfast presenter Mike Parry from continuing to file his weekly 1,200-word column for Football First.
The former Daily Express news editor has been off air for more than a month and is currently confined to a hospital bed.
Football First editorial director Chris Mann said: “He’s a 24-hour-aday work man and being in bed like that is very frustrating for him. It seems to be good for him to get this outlet. I said to him would he like to get a break but he’s absolutely bouncing with mental energy. Throughout all this he has been amazing and been fantastically courageous.”
