S12 Ep5: SUE BARKER ON HER BROADCASTING LEGACY, FUTURE ‘QUESTION OF SPORT’ TOUR PLANS AND ANDY MURRAY’S RETIREMENT
Update: 2024-07-28
Description
I’m joined by a literal legend in this week’s Monday Mile – the one and only Sue Barker. She’s an ex-professional tennis player turned world class sports broadcaster, best known for her coverage of Wimbledon, the Olympics and Question of Sport. She’s a huge role model for me, and I’m so proud to call her a friend.
Sue tells me the story of how she broke down barriers to succeed in the male-dominated field of sports broadcasting, landing several prestigious presenting roles. She’s synonymous with Wimbledon, and she returned to Centre Court just weeks ago to say an emotional farewell to Andy Murray, whose final professional matches take place this week. Her rundown of his career is a fascinating insight from someone who had a front row view of it all.
With her legacy cemented, she’s keen to see others thrive in the positions where she made her name – including me! She’s helped me immensely, and I’m so happy to be able to give you all a taste of her wisdom too.
