Chris Bascombe is a North West football reporter for The Daily Telegraph.[1]
Bascombe worked at the Liverpool Echo for seven years, where he won Sports Writer of the Year in the North West for five successive years.[2] He is also the recipient of the 'Merseyside Journalist of the Year' and the 'Sports Journalist of the Year' award at the Merseyside Media Network Journalism Award.[3] He was presented the award by Bill Kenwright.[3]
In 2007 Bascombe moved to the News of the World. The move angered some Liverpool fans as the paper was the Sunday stablemate of The Sun newspaper,[4] boycotted in Liverpool following its coverage of the Hillsborough disaster.[5] When some fans made violent threats to Bascombe,[2] he received support from other fans and the football club, whilst the attack was described by Roy Greenslade in The Guardian as "frankly stupid" and "completely at odds with the facts"[4] Following the closure of the News of the World, Bascombe joined The Daily Telegraph in 2011.[6]
Bascombe was the ghostwriter of Jamie Carragher's autobiography Carra.[6][7]
