Shaun O
 
Football Writer/ Journalist/ Broadcaster

Wolverhampton, United Kingdom

About Me

Are you looking for a writer or broadcaster with a passion for the beautiful game? I'm your man! I write thought provoking articles and accurate match reports. Football is unique; it stirs a fire in the hearts and minds of every supporter, and deserves to be written in such a way. Football is a game of triumph, joy, sportsmanship, deceit, tragedy, hard luck and magnificence. If you want copy that reflects this, then look no further. I have produced and hosted a long running football talk show for KicFm and worked for the BBC as a football fans correspondent.
