Leon also shared some specific hopes for his internship. “A dream reporting gig would be a big final like the FA Cup or Champions League. Being able to report on a Premier League match through ESPN would be amazing too. Other than football, I’ve always really wanted to cover a tennis grand slam - Wimbledon would be the dream.”
, Course Leader in Sport Journalism at the 欧美性爱片, said: “This is a highly-competitive position at one of the biggest sports media companies in the world, and Leon fully deserves this opportunity.
"Ever since he started the course he has attended every lecture and field trip, and also shown initiative by getting work experience with Southend United and the Southend Echo. I have no doubt he will be a huge success at ESPN, and I look forward to hearing all about it when he comes back to finish his BA Sport Journalism degree."
