About

Hi, I'm a journalism student from England living, working, and studying in Edinburgh.

I'm into most sports; football, boxing, cricket, baseball, a bit of hockey.

Football is my thing really. I'm a long suffering Aston Villa fan and follow England's national team around the world (when I can afford it.)

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    David Beckham, Mike Piazza, Zinedine Zidane, Victor Kasule, Lennox Lewis, Lance Armstrong, 'Pongo' Waring, 'Rampage' Jackson, Dalian Atkinson, John Carew.

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Aston Villa, Shrewsbury Town, New York Mets, New York Knicks

  • Favorite Coaches

    Bobby "The Brain" Heenan

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    Crosby's game winning goal in the Gold medal match Vancouver 2010

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    England v Paraguay in Frankfurt, 2006. The football was god awful but being in the stands was the most fun I've ever had at a game. My first visit to Shea stadium was almost as memorable, but nothing beats seeing England at the world cup.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    DiMaggio's hit streak

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays

  • Jordan or Russell?

    MJ

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Ehm, can I say Zizou?

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Federer.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Got to say Nicklaus until Tiger wins more majors.

    Hey Will,

    I managed to secure an interview with Gillingham’s star player, Simeon Jackson. He is a very sought after player by a lot of teams across the EPL, and this interview makes for an interesting read about Gillingham’s star man. Please take the time to check out my first ever interview.

    Many thanks,

    (Just on your edit on my article)

    Yeah... personally I see my writing as good, even great at times it's just I'm not too flash with the formatting etc.? Mind helping so I can perfect the art on B/R? Haha. And thanks for the feedback and edit, was hoping someone would.

    Thanks SO MUCH William, for the edit & your positive feedback. Glad you liked it :)
    I've maintained all the changes you've made, and I'll try to avoid those mistakes in the future.
    Yeah, I agree with you on that. Besides, since I'm a Milan fan myself, I'm hoping he doesn't leave the club. :)
    Hope you're doing well, take care.
    :)
