Alan's Bio

My name is Alan McGuinness and I'm the Chelsea Community Co-Leader alongside Salomon Gonzales.

I'm 19 and a die-hard Chelsea fan and season ticket holder (West Stand Lower) from London.

I'm currently studying Journalism at the University of Kent, and loving student life.

My ambition is to become a Journalist and writing on this site combines two of my passions: football and writing. I discovered this site via an advertisement on Facebook and I'm glad I took the time to sign up.

I mainly write articles about Chelsea, but also occasionally on other Premier League teams. With qualifcation for the 2010 World Cup under way, I'll also be writing some articles on the Republic of Ireland and their quest to reach South Africa.

At the moment I'm finding my time to write articles cut short by University commitments, but I'll try to contribute when I can.

My first Chelsea game was on 28th October 1998 against Aston Villa, a game which Chelsea won 4-1 and John Terry made his first team debut. My favourite Chelsea memory is seeing the club win the Premiership in 2005, something which I never thought I'd see the club do.

I also write articles for The Shed End, a Chelsea fan site, and news and reviews for Britxbox.co.uk, an Xbox 360 fan site.

I look forward to reading other articles on here and getting feedback on my own work.
