Jim Lawton RIP
Tributes have been flowing for James Lawton, a giant of journalism, who has passed away suddenly at the age of 75.
Jim was one of the finest sportswriters of this or any other generation, and his passing brought tributes from around the world, not just from friends and former colleagues on the Express, Independent and many other newspapers whose pages were graced by his writing. Many younger journalists spoke warmly of the help he provided in their early days, and of course many recounted their favourite Jim Lawton story.
