Greg Shelton

Hello my name’s Greg Shelton and I am privileged to be sports editor for the Newsgroup incorporating the Dudley, Halesowen and Stourbridge News both in print and online. Some of you may have seen me at various sporting venues across the borough and further afield covering our top sport stars. Highlights to date have been watching middleweight boxer Darren McDermott’s rise to British title contention and Stourbridge FC's promotion to the BGB Premier Division. Being a sports fanatic first and foremost (ask the poor wife) I love nothing more than a healthy if not lively chat on anything from Beckham's new hairstyle (that’s David not Victoria) to the influx of Kolpak players in county cricket. I will be offering my take on sport’s big issues on a regular basis so if you either want to put me straight or even agree with my views give us a shout.
