From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sue Thearle is a sports presenter on BBC Breakfast, and the only female reporter on Match of the Day
After training as a journalist, Thearle began her career on a local newspaper in Hertfordshire. During her later days there, her assistant answered her phone to England captain Bobby Moore and sold the quotes Moore gave him to a national newspaper. Thearle later met Moore at an England game a month before his death[1]. Thearle then moved to the Daily Telegraph as a football writer, and later presented and reported for Sky TV
Thearle joined BBC Breakfast in 1996 as a reporter, before being promoted to the presenting team[2]. She has also reported for Grandstand and Football Focus - and is the only female voice on Match of the Day. She fluffed her lines in 1998 whilst commentating on the highlights of an FA Cup match, as she forgot what to say and angrily whispered an expletive[3].
Married to Scott[4], the couple have one child (born November 2003) [5], and are presently expecting their second. A regular at Arsenal F.C., also describes herself as an average skier and a huge fan of the cinema
In 2005 Thearle ran her first London Marathon, with partner Helen Millgate (a cancer survivor), supporting her favourite charity Help The Hospices
