About

Born in the 90s, my first loves were Transformers, Pogz and Pez machines. After the age of six, sports and writing became my passions, conveniently morphing into the profession of sportswriting I currently find myself nestled within, and appreciatively so. There's nothing else I'd rather do.

Follow me on Twitter @TomSunderland_ (https://twitter.com/TomSunderland_) where I'll occasionally profess to know stuff and shamelessly plug my content from time to time.

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    Tough...but Ireland's 2009 Grand Slam Six Nations was a real confirmation of their emergence as true heavyweights on the international scale. Magical.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Munster 05-06 & 07-08 Heineken Cup victories. Lucky enough to attend both. Equally memorable.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Ryan Giggs' appearance records at Manchester United. The one-club player is a dying breed at the top level.

    Hi Tom.
    I am from Germany and just want to give you a litte advice.
    If you want to write it correct, its Mario Götze without an e. The e is just for the alternative form of ö which is oe.
    You did it right in Jürgen Klopp, where the alternative form would be Juergen. But you can never write Jüergen.

    Hey Tom. It's me again. I have some topic suggestions-
    1) Are United totally dependent on Robin van Persie?
    2) Is football all about money these days?

    These are topics that have always been a matter of discussion and argument at school, and I hope you will write articles on both, that is, if you don't bother.

    Cheers.

    Hey Tom. Can you please write an article on which of the leagues- La Liga or EPL is better? I mean in terms of competitiveness. I've got a bunch of friends whom I've to GOT to prove wrong. My opinion favors EPL. Tell us yours, and put a ceasefire to this battle.

    Cheers.

    Hey Tom. Sorry this took so long. Newspapers, magazines, television shows (but not TV channels), and books should all be in italics. Websites, on the other hand, don't need to be in italics.

    When it is a link to a newspaper's website, if it is the actual hyperlink (MailOnline.com) then it isn't in italics, but if you just use the name of the newspaper (The Daily Mail) then it is italicized.

    Hope that helps.

    No worries, I understand. I just have to point that out for standards sake. Enjoy your holiday!

    No problem, Tom. I know you don't write much, if any, college football stuff. Good work anyway.
