Jimmy's gets a mention in the Guardian's Media Monkey's Diary

No fewer than five FT editors including Lionel Barber, the present incumbent, turned out last week (Feb 26th)to say goodbye to Jimmy Burns, who is taking early retirement after 30 years as a foreign, war, diplomatic, political, labour and even spooks correspondent for the Pink 'Un. Of Anglo-Spanish parentage, Burns covered the Falklands war, when he received death threats from Argentinians and was suspected by the Brits of spying for the enemy; Barber called him full of contradictions, "most of them unresolved". But one facet of his career more admired by fellow-reporters than his editors was the number of books he managed to write-more than any other hack, and including one on Diego Maradona-while on the FT payroll. Hence the familar newsroom cry, "where's Jimmy?"
