Mike Amos was four times North-East Journalist of the Year in the 1990s, has won many other awards both regionally and nationally and is known also for his modesty. The good looking one of twins, he was born and raised in Shildon, Co Durham, was a councillor there and retains a strong attachment to the old railway town. After seven years at Bishop Auckland Grammar School, which Stan Laurel also attended, he began his journalistic career on the Northern Despatch in 1965 and joined The Northern Echo in 1969. He now writes six multi-faceted fact-based columns each week, is chairman of the Arnott Insurance Northern League and of the Northern League Club, editor of the League magazine, father of two huge sons and still finds time to be by far the greatest 5s and 3s player the world has ever seen. He is married to fellow columnist Sharon Griffiths, which alone sustains his reason. Back
