About Simon »

I am 27 years old from Peterborough in England. I love football and support my home town club Peterborough United first. The 'Posh' are managed by Darren Ferguson, son of Sir Alex, and are currently in League 1, hoping to be in the Championship before long. I am a season-ticket holder.

Liverpool are my EPL team, and I support them with just as much passion from afar as I do Peterborough up close.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Fernando Torres, Aaron Mclean (Posh), John Barnes, Dennis Bergkamp
Favorite Sports Teams

Peterborough United, Liverpool
All Time Sports Moment

Dennis Bergkamp's goal in the Wolrd Cup quarter-final with Argentina in France 1998. The best goal ever scored in my opinion.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Peterborough United vs Stockport County, 1992 Division 3 play off final at Wembley. Posh took 28,000 fans (our average attendance is about 5500) and won 2-1 with King Kenny Charlery netting both goals, the winner in the 88th minute, to reach the second tier of English football for the first (and only!) time ever.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Peterborough United, record goalscorers in a single English league season with 134 league goals in Division 4, 1960-1961 (Terry Bly netting 52 of those league goals!). Has stood for 47 years and counting....
Ruth or Mays?

American sport sucks
Unitas or Montana?

American sport sucks
Pele or Maradona?

Pele, a great man both on and off the field, and his records are phenomenal.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

No idea what any of that means.

I've just written a special tribute to one of the greatest coaches in English football history and one of the greatest characters in the game who passed away earlier today: Sir Bobby Robson. If you've got time, can you check it out?

Hey mate,

I know there are enough of these articles floating around Bleacher at the moment, but I was asked to write a preview on the Inter and United game so I gave it a go anyway.

Have a read and let me know what you think.

Hey Simon. I'm researching Bergkamp. I see you've listed him as one of your favourite players.

Is there a particular match that you remember as Bergkamp's best?
