Mark Ogden, Award winning football writer | Top 10 Football Transfer Gurus

Mark Ogden has travelled a long way since he was hired by his local paper as a trainee sports journalist. He had only just left college and was not really looking for employment but his father had spotted the job opening and the rest, as they say, is history.

Ogden is now the senior football writer with ESPN, one of the most high profile football journalist jobs in the industry and that shows how far he has come since starting his journalistic career with the Rochdale Observer.

Unusually for most football correspondents, Ogden has actually played the game, albeit only for the Rochdale reserves, however, he can boast of playing both alongside and against a young Paul Scholes.

Apart from ESPN, Ogden has worked for a whole host of different publications and broadcasters, including but not limited to The Telegraph, The Independent, Evening Standard, Sydney Morning Herald, ESPN Deportes, New Zealand Herald, Irish Independent, Belfast Telegraph, The South Africa Times.
