Welcome to the new edition of Spotlight. A series designed to introduce some of the communities best up and coming writers, as well as shedding some light on the established favourites we all know and follow.

If you have found a new Bleacher creature that has captured your imagination, then the Spotlight team can offer you the chance to find out much more about them.

We also go one step further and talk to your favourite writers, editors and community leaders—from their earliest memories as a football supporter right up to news about their next article.

Our last edition of Spotlight introduced the World Football Community to our very own up and coming writer, David Gore. He has gone on to climb the writer rankings and make a good name for himself within Bleacher Report and the Liverpool Community itself.

This time it is the turn of the Liverpool Community leader, Barney Corkhill.

 

Introducing…

A well established senior writer on Bleacher Report and the hardworking Liverpool Community leader, Barney has quickly shot to fame with his wide ranging articles that appear to deliver exactly what his fans want.

A keen follower of, Rugby, Cricket, and Tennis, the Somerset based sports fanatic is a knowledgeable addition to the B/R community who hopes to progress enough to become a sports journalist in the future.

In his eight month spell on Bleacher Report, Barney has amassed a very large and loyal fan base which has generated a hugely daunting article read count and two worthy articles of the day.

This can certainly be credited to his quality of writing and creativity in ideas, but also because Barney writes to a great standard about anything from Formula 1 and Boxing to Tennis and Cricket.

Barney’s 283 articles have produced some fascinating and well researched series’ with special mention for “The Unofficial World Club Championship” and “A Tribute To…” being amongst the writers own personal favourites.

Some of the most successful of his ideas come from series’ such as “The Great Debate”—with hard hitting topics, it will always be a controversial talking point—and the statistical stand-off that is “Player Duels”—with specially selected players that are sure to ignite heated debate amongst rival supporters.

Always ready to give advice to newcomers from across the site and praise and recognition to those underrated authors he deems worthy of attention, Barney Corkhill will long be considered a firm favourite amongst any Bleacher Report community and its members.
