Peter Marks: Press Officer Peter Marks is the press officer for a top football club. If a television or newspaper journalist wants to know anything about the club, Peter gives them the information. “ At the age of 10 I wanted to play football for England! But I studied science at university, and then got a job on a daily newspaper, writing about business and sport. I`ve worked for this club for eight years. When I started, only one other football club had a press officer – now almost every club has one. The job has changed a lot. At the beginning I just gave information to a few local and national newspapers. Today my phone never stops ringing! Magazines, TV companies and radio stations from all over the world want interviews with our players and manager. Often, journalists or photographers ask to meet a player here. That`s why my office is next to club changing room – it`s easy for me to find players when they`ve finished practicing. Newspapers sometimes say things about football clubs that are wrong, so I teach all our players how to answer difficult questions. Then I`m happy to let them speak to journalists without me.”

When he was a boy, Peter hoped to become a footballer.
