About Paul Atherton

I work for , and , running the programme websites and liaising between the television and online teams.
I joined the 成人论坛 Sport website five years ago after completing a post-graduate degree in online journalism, initially on the multimedia team (which is responsible for the audio and video on the site), then on the news desk. I've been working with the TV football team for about three years.
I'll be based at the International Broadcast Centre (IBC) in during the World Cup, working alongside the TV production team. I'll attempt to explain exactly what goes on there during my posts (in other words, I'm not quite sure myself!).
Outside of work, you may be surprised to hear football is my number one interest. Manchester United are my team (although I'm from Bolton - there goes my credibility). And my sporting claim to fame is being offered and turning down a trial with PSV when I was 12, but no one seems to believe me.
My ambitions? To finish the season as Man Utd's top goalscorer. That's it.
