a b Rachel Cutler, 'Board, Lillian Barbara (1948–1970)', Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2010 Retrieved 13 December 2011There have been so many tributes from across the industry following the news of the death of past SJA chairman David Emery. We shared memorable times. But beyond that, David was always the largest presence in the room – because, although he cared passionately for his newspaper, he cared as much for the people that surrounded him. No one had a dull time in his company. Jim captured it all so eloquently, of course, insisting in showing me his intros which I then had to instantly ignore for fear of plagiarism.At other times he would sit guru-like on the floor of the hotel while Canadian journalists from the Vancouver Star surrounded his burgeoning Buddha figure and lapped up the charismatic wit and wisdom. What I have noticed though, looking at some of the images of British athletes over previous Games, is that Britain, up until Seoul '88 used to compete in an all white kit with two bands around the chest, one red and one blue..

Emery… - The Rugby Paper He’s quite some man, that Emery… - The Rugby Paper

Was an old-school, inquisitive, gregarious journalist …..forever grateful that he used his position to take a chance on young people David Farnham Emery (born September 1, 1948) is an American politician from Maine. He served four terms as a Republican U.S. Representative from 1975 to 1983. He had no time for the pessimists and before accountants ruled, he would come up with an idea, find the money and we went all over the place. My mum and dad were talking about this girl last night. I didn't know anything about her, she died before I was born, so I looked her up after my dad said she would have been the best British female runner ever, had amazing potential, would have gone on to as far as Moscow in 1980 and been up there commentating today on the BBC alongside Michael Johnson.

After more than 15 seasons and almost 800 issues, The Rugby Paper is still going strong, still reaching parts of the game, not least those at community level, largely neglected through the demise of local newspapers decimated in a post-digital world. Then Ben Johnson happened. Jim write his account of the failed drugs test and filed. Perhaps he was mindful of my earlier remarks and did not wish to over-react. Whatever, it wasn’t the piece I knew Jim had in his heart. Bad times. Nonetheless David, below, who I knew by name and towering reputation but only very slightly on a personal basis, was on the phone in late July inquiring about my health and prospects. Not good, I replied. http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/lillian-board-of-great-britain-winning-the-womens-800-news-photo/473938960

Play hard, work hard was the motto that was never said, simply understood from his example. He was a newspaperman. You knew he had done it all, digging, getting in, writing superbly under pressure. He loved a challenge and expected those working with him to be as impromptu, as inventive, to care about the words. I can remember seeing photos in the press of her in hospital undergoing treatment for the cancer that eventually took her life. IIRC it was at a private hospital in Switzerland. There are many great production feats in journalism, but David and his team produced a weekly miracle with the ‘NLP’, which launched in 2000 and is still going strong – despite some gloomy launch predictions – 23 years later.It’s no wonder the Express sports desk under him regularly took on and beat both the tabloids and broadsheets. And it is little wonder that he, after leaving the Express, made as good a stab as anybody of giving the UK a specialist sports paper in the image of L’Equipe or Gazzetta dello Sport with his Sport First paper. Ultimately Britain’s obsession for football put paid to that dream but it was a notable effort. The footway from the Munich Olympic Stadium to the subway station was renamed as the Lillian-Board-Weg. The Lillian Board Trophy, a memorial trophy provided by Irene Board and by Dame Marea Hartman, Chairwoman of the Woman's Commission of the IAAF and of the Women's AAA following Board's death is awarded each year for outstanding fundraising for cancer.
