- David English (journalist)
Sir David English (1931 – 1998) was a British journalist and newspaper editor, best known for his twenty-year editorship of the "Daily Mail".
English began his newspaper career in 1951 at the "Daily Mirror" before moving to the "Daily Sketch", firstly as Features Editor and then Editor. In 1971 he took up the editorship of the "Mail", a post which he held until 1992 when he became Chairman and Editor-in-chief of Associated Newspapers. At a "Daily Mail" summer party at Hampton Court, the late Lord Rothermere described English in a speech as the creator of the modern "Daily Mail" - much to the discomfort of Paul Dacre, the paper's present editor, who was sitting beside him. This fact was reported in "The Times" obituary of Sir David English.
He was educated at Bournemouth School, where the sports centre is now named after him.
