Jon's Bio

Liverpool Football Club is my first love. There have been some good times, some bad times and a few exceptional moments, most notably Istanbul.

I'll watch pretty much anything sports related and after football my main sports are cricket, baseball, american football and tennis. Starter supporting the Red Sox and the Patriots thanks to not being able to sleep when I was about 17 and american sport was on at that time of night!

As a 24 year old Londoner, I'm recent masters graduate in human rights, wish I was back at uni but doing catering/bar work while I try and get an internship. I found Bleacher through CBS and thought "hey, I'll give that a go!" so here I am!

Jon,

I'm thinking of trying to do a collaborative effort with a number of Liverpool writers on the 20th anniversary of Hillsborough and I'd like you to be one of those writers. However, I'm struggling to come up with any ideas that would do the event justice. Any ideas?

Cheers,
Barney
