Introduction

From the day I was able to walk I have always been involved with and interested in football. Nothing beat the days we use to have as kids knocking a ball about outside the house using a farmers gate as a goal and playing until it was too dark to see. Since then I have gone on to play for various club and still enjoy playing football to this day.

My involvement in football didn’t stop at playing as at age thirteen I became one of the youngest qualified and active football referees in the country. During my time as a ref I got to ref for various leagues all across the county as well as officiating at some professional grounds and at some big games. I still enjoy being a referee although due to all my other commitments I am not as active as I use to be.

For the last four years I have been a youth football coach, coaching a boys side to for two seasons and then coaching a girls side for the last two years. I have my FA qualification in coaching and enjoy every minute of it. There is nothing like coaching young people football and watching them learn and develop.

On top of all this I am a football commentator for visually impaired fans who go and watch Plymouth Argyle through the Soccer Sight project run by the RNIB. Most home games you can see up Home Park in the back of the Mayflower hopefully bringing the game to life and entertaining some great fans.

So there in a nutshell is my history in football and I’m only 25. I’m passionate about football and the power the sport has and through this blog I am going to share with you all the goings on in my footballing career as well as giving thoughts and opinions on what is happening in the wider football scene.
