Welcome!

On this page you’ll find the musings of a hopeless football obsessive whose love of the beautiful game isn’t just about supporting his team(s); it is something much deeper than that.

I realised long ago that I am a complete and utter lost cause. For me being a football fan is so much more than following my beloved Leyton Orient all over the country, or watching every Arsenal game I can on TV, that is just the tip of the iceberg. I spend a quite frankly ridiculous amount of my time watching, reading about, talking about, thinking and rethinking football, its history, nostalgia, formations, tactics, grounds I have visited, grounds I am going to visit, historic matches, kits, boots, balls, great teams, great players…. the list goes on and on.

So, if that introduction hasn’t made you run for the hills(!), and you are interested in reading about football travel, nostalgia, disillusionment with the modern game, football books, and all sorts of other football-related ramblings, then this is the place for you. Expect regular content on all of those subjects and more.
