Alex's Bio
B/R World Football Writer of the Year 2008.
B/R Staff Editor
Alex is both a history (BA) and journalism (MA) graduate, which is only impressive when you consider they are just about the only combination of degrees that guarantee you won't get a job in the current economic climate.
Nevertheless, Alex hopes to one day make it as a sports journalist of the highest level. If nothing else, a man can dream.
In the meantime, Alex is working hard on honing his craft right here on Bleacher Report. As a Staff Editor he is mainly responsible for the World Football and Cricket sections of the site, editing contributions and polishing them where needed. If you write for either sections, chances are he will look over your work more than once. Don't worry about thanking him for any edits he makes however — the nominal fee he gets from the company bigwigs every two weeks is the only thanks he needs.
When he has time, Alex also likes to contribute regularly with articles of his own. He likes to think they are thoughtful, engaging, and regularly on the money, but many readers would doubtless disagree. Nevertheless, he has had pieces published on both Fox Sports and CBS, so he must be doing something right.
Alex is a Crystal Palace fan, which rather undermines his assertion that he is an expert on the beautiful game. However, he also would consider himself knowledgeable when writing about golf (for what it's worth, he has a 6 handicap), cricket, Formula 1... well, pretty much any mainstream sport you care to mention.
Except baseball. What's the deal with that?
Until ESPN or the Times come calling, Alex will be working hard right here, and would welcome constructive criticism or advice. He would also be more than happy to help other writers trying to make their own way on this site.
Alex can be...

Thanks for the edit Alex, you rock!
Yeah, Raul will get matches, I am a big fan of his and respect what he has done for the club, but the more matches he gets the lesser matches Higuain will get, that would mean hindering the growth of an awesome talent, which hurts me more than Raul sitting on the bench, it is time for him to let Higuain do the job that he used to do in the previous Galacticos.
Thanks again Alex. :)

Thanks for the feedback Alex. Robinho is a luxury, I just think he gets in Kaka's way sometimes, and that can't be a good thing. Cheers.
