Hi There,

I am a Football Journalist, Writer and Content Creator based in Manchester

My other interests include Formula 1, Film & TV, videogames and Food, which I have also written and created content about in the past.

During my time at TrunkBBI I worked as a Sport's Content Production Executive working with Greene King Sport to create some exciting and innovative content for their social media channels. You can find some examples of my work during this time in this video..

OGC Nice's Ratcliffe Renaissance - How has it gone?

It’s probably common knowledge for most of you that follow me, but for those who don’t know, I am a Manchester United fan.

I try to avoid talking about United too much in this newsletter because, for one, I write about them a lot for my actual job and secondly, this newsletter was set up to talk about football in general, but the topic of new ownership at Old Trafford allows for me to bend the rules ‘a little’.

Like many United fans, I was ecstatic when the news broke that the club were potent

Analysing Spurs' Destiny Udogie

Born to Nigerian parents, Udogie began his career in Hellas Verona’s youth system where he would flourish as a left wing-back, making the most out of his defensive abilities while not limiting his attacking talent. During the 2018/19 season he would score six goals and register an assist in 22 games for the team’s U-17 side. He would make his debut two years later in November 2022 against AC Milan in a 2-2 draw with the Rossoneri. In these initial stages, then manager Ivan Jurić (now at Torino)

Burgers and Bourdain: Why you should always ‘wing it’ when abroad

Burgers and Bourdain: Why you should always ‘wing it’ when abroad

“I’m a big believer in winging it. I’m a big believer that you’re never going to find perfect city travel experience or the perfect meal without a constant willingness to experience a bad one. Letting the happy accident happen is what a lot of vacation itineraries miss, I think, and I’m always trying to push people to allow those things to happen rather than stick to some rigid itinerary.” — Anthony Bourdain

(Big) Game Theory — Didier Drogba

Didier Drogba is a player that I begrudgingly respect as a Manchester United fan and quite honestly I believe he is one of the top five strikers of the Premier League era.

Now that declaration will be met with (possibly angry) shouts of “How can he be one of the best strikers when he didn’t even score that many goals?”

Drogba only scored more than 12 goals over the course of a season on two occasions at Chelsea; 29 in the 2009/10 season and 20 in the 2006/7 season (on both occasions he won the

Being short never mattered to Fabio Cannavaro so why does it matter for Lisandro Martinez?

Short centre-backs are a guilty pleasure of mine. To reach the highest level (pun not intentional) they not only have to work harder than their peers, but smarter as well.

Carlos Puyol, Franco Baresi, Ivan Cordoba, Javier Mascherano, while he was at Barcelona, are just a few who have taken the road less travelled and succeeded.

They are at a disadvantage from day one and it seemingly instills a mentality in them to overcome hardships which is invaluable in a football team. A fighting spirit.

Paul Pogba struggles and Manchester United's downfall are intertwined

"And on the pedestal, these words appear: 'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings; Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay. Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare. The lone and level sands stretch far away."

That is an excerpt from the poem Ozymandias by Percy Shelley (the inspiration for the title of the second-best episode of Breaking Bad). It tells the story of an ancient Egyptian Pharoah who created a dynasty that he thought would never collapse

Style over Substance- The Fashionable Fall of Venezia FC

Italy has always been a country obsessed with beauty.

Through music, art, architecture, and fashion, the Italian people have always looked to set themselves apart from the rest of the world. And no city embodies this pursuit of perfection more than Venice.

Every image of Venice looks like it came from the brush of Canaletto himself - classical Venetian architecture lines the banks of each of the city’s iconic waterways and instead of roads filled with ‘ugly cars’, the canals are filled with bo
