Professional Football: The Chase of An Impossible Dream?

For every one of the 13 million people playing football unprofessionally in the UK, the possibility of professional contracts with professional clubs is a very real possibility for some. But of those with the talent to play our beautiful game, how many are chasing an impossible dream?

Check out my latest article, I'm sure you'll have an opinion!

Hey Bevan,

No worries at all mate, I literally always forget words when writing my first draft, so it really wasn't a big deal. Just something I thought you should know, in case you also published it elsewhere (I know a lot of people do).

As for my journalism course, I am starting at Brunel in September, which should be cool. But I know what you mean about it being bloody expensive! It depends what you want to do, if you fancy a sports journalism course I think the best are Staffordshire, Brighton and maybe Lincolnshire? Or check out newsassociates.co.uk - their sports journalism course is highly rated, and being an intensive 20 weeks you will be in a job a lot sooner than others! I went up there last year for an interview and was really impressed, they really know what they are doing - and with a working newsroom on site they offer amazing practical experience.

As for the editing internship, try this link: http://bleacherreport.com/pages/interns . Should tell you everthing you need to know. If you go for it, good luck!

Thanks for the kind words about my articles - obviously yours are also far from shabby! I can certainly see why so many people on here voted for you as the 'best newcomer'!

Hope this helps,
Alex

Allo mate thought I would let you know that my predictions are out for the first week of the 2008/2009 Premier League season.

It will become a weekly series called Weekly Musings, with added articles for the F.A.Cup, Carling Cup and The Champions League.

Here is the address, check it out and comment.
