Contributing Writer

Thomas Adams

Tom has been a football writer for over 15 years, having mostly focused his coverage on the Premier League and Bundesliga as well as all major international tournaments. He's been a writer, editor, an social media manager for SB Nation's Bavarian Football Works for just under a decade, which is one of the world's leading English-language sites dedicated to Bayern Munich, the German national team, and the Bundesliga. He's made appearances on the CBS Sports Golazo Show, 433 Podcast, The What the Falk Sunderland podcast, and other major outlets. He's also been a regular personality on the Bavarian Podcast Works show, but has been on a bit of a hiatus from that for the time being as raising a new baby takes A LOT of time as it turns out! He's a lifelong Liverpool FC supporter having first seen them play in a 2004 friendly in Hartford, Connecticut, close to where he resides, but prides himself on his ability to remain entirely objective when he's covering his side in any way.
