The Man Who Shouts gives an insight into what it was like working for Capital Gold Sport which had Jonathan Pearce as its main commentator, driving force and inspiration and which revolutionised football reporting in this country.

In 1989 Simon Michaelson began working as a football reporter for Charing Cross Hospital Radio and the Sportsvox agency. In 1991 he got a dream move to Capital Gold Sport, London’s legendary award-winning radio station. Simon’s encounters with stellar figures such as Malcolm Allison, Elton John, Rodney Marsh, Matt Le Tissier and Bobby Moore are documented in the book as are his experiences as Capital Gold Sport’s Watford reporter.

Woven into the narrative are descriptions of events in Simon’s life which led to him becoming a football reporter including a trip to Morocco and a hair-raising ride through the Pyrenees in Spain. The book is about football and features characters from the game’s diverse and colourful spectrum. But it’s not just about football, it’s a unique, beguiling and entertaining blend of football, adventure and fun.

Author: Simon Michaelson had been a long-standing football supporter when he began working as a football reporter in 1989. Two years later he landed a dream gig working for London’s legendary award-winning station Capital Gold Sport. Simon became Capital Gold Sport’s Watford reporter and wrote a column for the Watford match day programme.

He also wrote articles for Kick It City, a short-lived but fondly remembered magazine focussing on London football. He contributed a number of entries for a 2003 book entitled “you are my Watford… Two hundred things that make Watford Football Club special” (proceeds from sales donated to Watford Supporters Trust).

True to Description
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel
Love it!! I bought it for privacy while the nurse is dressing my dad. There were several colors black matched the decor . It blocked the sunlight and street lights. Durability and quality very good. Easy closure when not in use. Lightweight. No assembly needed

Nice room divider!
Color: White, Size: 8 Panel
The white panels are a nice off-white color. shipped in perfect condition. Already assembled so set up was quick. We use them to separate a photo studio from the main entry. Easily covers a 6 Ft. opening to the room. They are a woven material with wood colored sticks to support the weave. They are about 6 Ft. tall at the top of the curved section but less at the hinged sections. Light and easy to set up and take down. We are straddling two different floors so the extended legs at the bottom make this easy. Not sure how to clean them but they look great so far!

Instant Privacy
Color: Beige, Size: 8 Panel
Bought this to separate a ground level living area used as an office. Works well to cover visual clutter; allows a clean look when entering the front door. Comes fully assembled. Hinges are sturdy enough, as long as the panels aren’t stretched too far; have to allow some bend between them. For the price point, quality and functionality are satisfactory.

Great Divider, Just Needed Anchoring for Outdoor Use
Color: Grey, Size: 6 Panel
This room divider is very nice—stylish, lightweight, and easy to set up. I’m using it outdoors, which may not be its intended use, and I found that wind can knock it over pretty easily. Once I anchored it down, though, it worked just fine and looks great in the space. Indoors, I imagine it would be perfect right out of the box. Overall, a solid purchase with just one small adjustment needed for my setup.

Good Quality
Color: White, Size: 4 Panel
They are made with good quality. However I bought them to help with blocking outside light and the white does not do that.
