About

I have been a football journalist for the past 14 years, working for the likes of the Daily Telegraph, the Guardian, PA, Uefa.com, Goal.com, ESPN, theFA.com and many other media organisations, covering the European and world game, with particular attention on top-flight English football.

I have a deep interest and passion for the European Cup, and have either attended, covered or watched every World Cup and European Championship finals since 1986, while I am also a Liverpool supporter of over 25 years.

    Enjoyed it too Richie. I didn't put the pieces together about us working together at Goal until you mentioned it. Then I looked at Skype and realised you were already on my contact list!
