Vicky Gomersall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vicky Gomersall Joined the Sky Sports News presenting team in the summer of 2005, having made the transition from reporter to presenter.

Vicky originally reported on events in and around the North West, and lists being at Anfield on the day Emlyn Hughes died as her most memorable assignment. A Liverpool fan, Vicky explains: "I felt honoured to interview so many Liverpool legends about their beloved 'Crazy Horse'. All the former players started to just turn up without even being asked. It was a massive mark of respect to the man both they and the fans, including me, adored. It was a very emotional day but one I shall never forget." Other fond memories for Vicky include interviewing England and Preston North End legend Tom Finney and nine-time Wimbledon Ladies' Singles champion Martina Navratilova.

Vicky once dated Viv Richards' cousin and had tea with Viv's mum in Antigua and although the great man was on tour, she made time to show Vicky all of his embarrassing photos.

Vicky lists football and cricket as her first loves but also enjoys athletics. As a schoolgirl she ran for Cheltenham district when her hero was Daley Thompson! Vicky used to play football for Fulham Ladies and still plays 5-a-side football.

Vicky also likes to scuba dive when on holiday and her ambition is to present an extreme sports show so that she can try out a few more hair-raising activities.
