Martin Samuel

Martin Samuel (Born 1964) ^[1] is a sports columnist for the Daily Mail newspaper and columnist for the Jewish Chronicle. He had been a sports writer and columnist for The Times and the News of the World since 2002 and was named Sports Writer of the Year for 2005 and 2006 at the What The Papers Say awards and in 2005 and 2006 by the Sports Journalists' Association.

His work has been described as "witty, punchy and illuminating" and appealing to sports fans and non-sports fan alike.^[2]

In March 2008, Samuel was presented with the John Bromley Trophy for a third successive time after being named as the SJA's sports writer of the year for 2007, his commendation stating that "[Samuel] took the plunge back into daily papers but still maintained, even surpassed, the remarkable quality and clarity that has hallmarked his writing and thinking for many years."^[3] He won the prestigious Sports Journalist of the Year award at the British Press Awards in 2008.^[4]

Samuel is a regular guest on the Sunday Supplement.

In September 2008, it was announced that Samuel would be leaving The Times to move to the Daily Mail, replacing the paper's sports columnist, Paul Hayward, who was moving to The Guardian. Speculation suggested that Samuel's salary would be in excess of £400,000.^[5]

Samuel is a fan of West Ham United FC.^{[citation needed]}.
