2024 was the year I resolved to take #footballwriting a bit more seriously. In my debut year published 19 articles on #nonleague to #SerieA, in:

@hoppersguide.com
@terraceedition.bsky.social
@glorystudio.bsky.social
@outsidewrite.bsky.social
@trasfertamag.bsky.social
And others.

Bromley …
‘They’re fucking huge’
‘… there's just tangerine bodies bouncing off jade shirted monsters.’

Football bollocks* of the highest order 👌

This idiot here, yes, me, just reached 400 followers (which is half the size of my family, but they're all bastards).
The objective for 2025 is to reach 501. And at that point, I will let one of you pick a football subject, and I write 250 words about it. Deal?

This was one of the many quotes I found while writing my book, The Chelsea Story. I thought it was quite ironic, given the scale of today's financial demands from modern footballers and their agents. #books #football #footballhistory #footballwriting #soccer #historybooks #chelseafc

My book - The Arsenal Story, available from Amazon - contains many quotes from the club's history; this refers to the club's move to North London in 1913.

Shocking, hilarious, and appalling - often all at once. And beneath it all is a sharp look at power, ego, and a dynasty that flamed out as fast as it rose.
