Anthony started his career at the Hemel Hempstead Gazette series, initially as a news reporter before becoming sports editor from where he transferred to Newsquest to take up the same job title but with wider responsibilities at the Watford Observer in 2001. He went on to become Group Sports Editor, covering titles in North and East London as well as Watford and remained in that post until the Covid pandemic in 2020. A change of direction saw him become Community Editor in which he retains some involvement in local sports coverage, but also writes about a range of subjects including nostalgia, local history and other community news. A lifelong Watford FC fan with a keen interest in many other sports, Anthony is fascinated by history, is a rock boy at heart but has an eclectic taste as long as it 'good' music.
