Writer

Patrick Finlay

Big football fan based in the North East of England. A follower of Liverpool who has a soft spot for too many clubs both home and abroad. I've worked for a number of different publications over the past four years about a plethora of sports, including football, MMA, boxing and Formula 1. An unhealthy collection of football shirts, with a soft spot for attending random games across the continent.
