About Chris »

I'm 29, and currently live in Cardiff.

My first love is football, and more specifically Manchester United. I'll be writing a fair bit about United, but will also write about other teams and issues in football as well.

I'm also a keen watcher of rugby and cricket, but will be sticking to football for my musings.

Hey,

I've finally gotten round to writing a football article! It's about players with huge potential who never quite achieved what they should have.

I think it will prove an interesting read. Let me know what you think.

Please spread the word!!!

Cheers
