Hi. My name is Mark and I'm an addict.
I try to quit, go cold turkey. But, it's too hard.
I think about it all the time. The highs. The lows. The buzz...I need the buzz, I cannot live without it.
Football is my life and I wouldn't change it for the world.
I am studying for the NCTJ Advanced Sports Journalism qualifications, fuelled by my desire to become - via a body of work and gained experience - a respected football writer.
I live in hope, and pray that it will happen. That one day, I will be given the opportunity to write about the beautiful game for a living.
Then, and only then, will my soul be free!
Until then, I hope you enjoy reading my contributions. Feel free to comment - be it in frantic head-nodding agreement or expletive rage!
Let the debates begin!
