With Great Pleasure - Julie Welch

In 1969, on The Observer, Julie Welch became the first woman to report on a football match in a national paper. This created some controversy but she has made an art of turning challenge into success and has gone on to build an enviable reputation as a sports writer, novelist and scriptwriter for film and television. In this programme she chooses a selection of writing which illustrates one of the main themes of her life so far - feet. The readers are Dominic Jephcott and Stella Gonet. Producer: Christine Hall.
