Across all sports, who are the journalists or correspondents you most like to read or listen to? Whose opinions really matter to you?
Two to start:
* Mike Costello. The underrated voice of boxing and athletics on BBC Radio. Extremely knowledgeable and, when it comes to boxing, holds quite probably the views I respect more than any other.
* Tim Vickery. Brazilian based British journo. What this guy doesn't know about South American football ain't worth knowing. If ever you're up and relatively sober at 2.30 on a Saturday morning, tune into the World Football Phone-in (you can podcast it too).
