Within the next few weeks, my latest book – Swansea City Match of My Life – will be released. What better time than now to share a few facts about it? Here goes… It’s called Match of My Life. Let’s start with the obvious one! I didn’t come up with the title as it is part of…
Anyone can call themselves a freelance writer – just like I can call myself a freelance heart surgeon. Thing is, I don’t get any work as a heart surgeon. As a freelance writer though, I can barely keep up. A lot of people ask me ‘What do you actually do?’. It’s hard to say in…
For those who don’t know, I have played guitar for around 17 years. I’m no Eric Johnson, but I’m not bad. ‘Decent’ – that’s the word! As a teenager, playing guitar was my main activity, alongside being moody and awkwardly trying to speak with women. In fact, I used to play in a punk rock…
I love coffee, even though these days I tend to drink more decaf than the actual good stuff. I even had a… tea the other day (gasp). And, as a freelance writer, I’d rather work from cafes than go stir crazy (or stir crazier) at home. In fact, much of my working day is spent…

Here’s a very, very brief post to confirm that I am no longer in charge of ForzaSwansea.com. After six very enjoyable years, I made the decision to pass control to a new party in November 2016, after being unable to commit to updating the blog regularly. This is down to other writing projects and clients…
I was invited to speak about Swansea City on BBC Radio Wales Sport earlier this week, which was broadcast live from the freezing cold dugouts of the Liberty Stadium. You can check out the full show, featuring Lee Trundle, Abigail Davies and myself (I feature throughout the second hour) by heading to the BBC iPlayer.
Just a quick note to inform people that I’ll be signing copies of Swansea City’s Greatest Games in Waterstones, Swansea on Tuesday, 9th December. It’s just me and a pen – nothing fancy – so come along, buy a book and have it signed!
On Friday, October 3rd my first book, Swansea City’s Greatest Games, was successfully launched in Waterstones, Swansea. (Picture: South Wales Evening Post) After some fantastic anecdotes and a wonderful introduction from Swansea City club chaplain Kevin Johns, I took to the stage to read the book’s first chapter before talking about the research and writing…
