Bio: Born and raised in North West London. An avid football fan from a very early age. Regularly attending Arsenal matches at both Highbury and now at the Emirates. I have 20+ years of experience in digital sports marketing, working and writing on everything from athletics to yachting and everything in-between. I'm now a driven and passionate freelance writer and content creator, dabbling in all aspects of the sporting world.
My Football Story: I was born into a football-loving family, well, an Arsenal-loving family. My dad regularly attended matches at Highbury from the 1950s onwards, and he started taking me in the 1980s. I took a ball everywhere I went, before school in the playground, lunchtime kick-abouts on the field, and down the park as soon as the end-of-school bell rang.
I also enjoyed learning about the game, collecting and swapping Panini stickers, and eagerly going to the local newsagents to grab my weekly copies of Match and Shoot magazine. I was lucky enough to research and cover 1994 FIFA World Cup games during a work experience spell in the sports department at The Guardian, and after graduating from university I was employed writing content pieces for Sporting Index, with football one of the main sports covered. As well as still avidly watching Arsenal when I can, I also now love supporting my local non-league team, Windsor & Eton FC, with my own children.
