Hi!
I'm Barney Corkhill, the Liverpool Community Leader for Bleacher Report! Obviously that means I'm a Liverpool fan and I look forward to celebrating the league title finally coming home this season! Other than football, I like playing and watching rugby, cricket, tennis and any other sports really!
In terms of music, The Beatles are by far the greatest band of all time (fact), and it just so happens that they come from the greatest city of all time as well (fact)! I play drums and can play a lot of the Beatles songs on the piano! Anyway, this is a sports site not a music site so I'll stop there! My favourite film is Green Street - It was good enough to almost turn me into a West Ham fan for an hour and it certainly had "I'm forever blowing bubbles" in my head rather than "You'll Never Walk Alone" for the next few days! Anyway this isn't a film site either so moving on...
I'm 18 and live in England. Despite being born in the '90s I really wish I was growing up in the '60s so I could experience most of the sporting greats (as well as the Beatles!). Unfortunately I wasn't to be so lucky, but I do try and look into sport's past a lot. In many ways I prefer to it today's sport, even though I wasn't even alive when it happened!
I joined B/R over a year ago and it has provided me with a great base for my dream career, helping me build up a portfolio and hone my writing skills! I have many a series on here, some of which I will be looking to resurrect soon! The ones I particularly like are the "Greatest Ever" series, which always provides good debate, the "A Tribute To..." series, which looks at the greats of various sports, and Barney Corkhill's Unofficial World Club Championships (current holders being Chelsea).

Most importantly of all, I hope you enjoy my articles! If you do, rate them, leave a comment, and, if they're truly good enough give 'em a POTD vote! It would make me a very happy Barney! Go on spread the joy! If you like my work enough then by all means become a fan!
Finally, thanks to each and every person who has ever read, commented, or picked my article (yep, that means you!), and an extra special thanks to the 168 and counting people who have become my fans. It honestly means a lot!
Now, in the words of Ringo Starr: Peace and Love!

DeleteIs there anyway we can contact the folks on b/r and tell them that we don't like it and want it changed!
