Philip Hazlewood, a goalkeeper from Harrogate who was an Associate Schoolboy in 1989/90, emailed me with this potted history of his life:

Philip joined Norwich City as an under-13 goalkeeper from the PGL set-up run by Kit Carson and stayed until the end of the 1989/1990 season, signing schoolboy forms in 1989. He stayed on for A-levels at school (St Thomas More RC School, Blaydon, Tyne and Wear) after being released, playing in the meantime for Durham Schools under-19s and in the Northern League.

He went on to Oxford University (St Hugh's College) to read Modern Languages. Gained a "Blue" for football, representing the university at the annual Varsity match against Cambridge at Craven Cottage, Fulham, in 1994 (Oxford 5, Cambridge 0); the previous year he turned out for the Centaurs (2nd XI) in the 1-1 draw.

Since then, work as a journalist has taken over and football hasn't featured apart from a brief stint in the Arthurian League as a "ringer" for a mate's side. "Being 5ft 7in and short-sighted doesn't help much - except in the odd five-a-side or works matches involving journalists who really need to do more exercise."

After a stint in Paris, post-grad in journalism in Glasgow and work at The Journal and Evening Chronicle in Newcastle, plus the Evening News in Edinburgh, he joined the Press Association news agency, working as a news reporter in London and Birmingham. He is now at the BBC in Birmingham as a radio reporter.
