Football

Football is my passion. And it's fair to say one of my dreams has recently come true as I am now writing for England Women's Football Team - the fabulous Lionesses.

You can see my work in match-day programmes and on the FA Website.

England Women's Football Team

Some of the features for the Lionesses’ match day football programmes are also shared on the Football Association's England website.
 

For the programmes in 2024, I interviewed:

  • England star Beth Mead
  • Former Lionesses Rachel Daly, Steph Houghton, Gilly Flaherty, Sue Smith and Laura Bassett
  • England WU17 coach Natalie Henderson
  • England Women's technical director Kay Cossington MBE
  • USA women's captain Lindsey Horan.

HISTORY OF TORQUAY UNITED

 

In 1990, I wrote the first ever book on the history of Torquay United Football Club.
 

Released as a paperback in time for Christmas 1990, it was written to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the club, founded in 1899, switching from amateur to professional status, hence its title, Torquay United - The First 70 Years.
