Hayters co-owner and managing director Gerry Cox explains how the celebrated sports news agency has adapted to the demands of a new media era.

He talks about following up on its track record of launching top-level journalism careers - like those of Henry Winter, Peter Drury and David Ornstein - as well as its embrace of digital-first storytelling and a closer relationship with football audiences.

And he reflects on the most significant changes and the biggest stories of his own career, including a Diego Maradona bombshell at the FIFA World Cup.
