Alden's Bio
I am currently finishing up my Bachelor of Arts degree in Politics and History at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. Contrary to popular belief, I have no interest in AFL, Rugby League/Union or Cricket. My only love is football and I live and breathe this game every day. I never shy from giving a controversial opinion and love to stir up debates in anything related to this beautiful game. My initial skepticism of this community has given way to a belief that this site can transform into a place for 'serious journalism.'
I have contributed to numerous publications in Australia and Singapore. I try never to rewrite my lines as like Arundhati Roy, I believe that a writing style is deeply personal and subjective. It is a true reflection of how an individual feels about a certain subject. And just as these feelings can never change regardless of the criticisms, a writing style must stay constant also.
I have written about other topics before but I am relatively new to to sports writing. Over the months that I have been here, I have learnt a great deal from the experienced writers in this community. I have faith that this community can grow and I hope that my contribution, however insignificant, can help this community become the best in sports journalism.

You always seem to be criticizing him!
