Expertise
I have a fairly extensive knowledge of English Football. I attended my first game in 1967 and have been to hundreds since. My particular areas of interest are the history of the game, statistics, records, trivia and stadium information. PLEASE NOTE: I CAN'T GIVE YOU ADVICE ON HOW TO GET A TRIAL OR TRYOUT WITH A FOOTBALL CLUB, HOW TO CONTACT A FOOTBALL SCOUT, HOW TO CONTACT AN AGENT OR ANY OTHER ASPECT OF BECOMING A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALLER! PLEASE DO NOT WASTE MY TIME AND YOUR OWN TIME BY ASKING ME QUESTIONS OF THIS NATURE.
