Craig is a freelance writer and broadcaster based in the Metropolitan New York City area.

Originally from South Yorkshire in England and is a graduate of the University of York St. John with a BA honors degree in Sports Studies and Physical Education.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Austin Healey, Chris Waddle, George Best, Eric Cantona, Rodney Harrison, Tedy Bruschi, Tom Brady, Pedro Martinez, David Beckham, Jonny Wilkinson, Will Greenwood. Obviously there are a few Red Bull players I could list here but I don't want to play favorites!

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    All England teams, Sheffield Wednesday, New York Red Bulls, Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, Boston Celtics, Boston Bruins

  • Favorite Coaches

    Sir Clive Woodward, Bill Belichick, Terry Francona, Alex Ferguson, Brian Clough

  • All Time Sports Moment

    Jonny Wilkinson's winning drop-goal in the 2003 rugby World Cup Final & the final out and ensuing celebrations of the 2004 World Series victory for the Red Sox

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    I vividly remember at my first Sheffield Wednesday game aged 7 against Liverpool in 1988, walking out of the South Stand at Hillsborough and saying to my dad, "wow, this is better than Oakwell".

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Any pitching win record like 'most career wins' or 'most wins in a season' will never be close to being broken with the way baseball pitchers are handled nowadays

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Ted Williams!

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Tom Brady!

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan may have been a better player, but no team sport athlete won more tha Russell. Plus I'm a Celtics fan, so there's your answer!

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Flying Bobby....

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Georgie Best every time

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Close one, I'd edge Federer based on that ridiculous through the legs shot he did a year or two ago

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger was the better playa!

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Brian Vickers

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Schumacher - the very definition of German efficiency

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    I really have no interest or connections to American College sports. None.
