Dom Howson has spent more than 20 years in sportsjournalism, which is long enough to know better but not long enough to stop. A Huddersfieldnative, he has spent a significant portion of his career immersed in the worldof Sheffield Wednesday - a twist of fate he still can't fully explain, but onehe's grown rather attached to. That affection eventually led to his first book,Carlos Had a Dream.Dom joined The Star in 2009 and was appointed chiefSheffield Wednesday writer in 2014, quickly discovering that covering the clubis less a job and more a lifestyle choice. His reporting - later continued at YorkshireLive - spanned takeover sagas, managerial changes, late night transfers, epicfan forums and pre-season trips that occasionally offered more sun than S6.In 2025, he stepped away from the daily churn of the newsroomto focus on freelance writing and long-form storytelling, deciding it wasfinally time to turn years of Wednesday-related chaos, drama and unexpectedplot twists into something more permanent than a matchday live blog. A gymenthusiast and all-round sport junkie, Dom lives near Stockport with his wifeAlice.
