Floodlit Football
Description
Floodlit Football aims to offer a spotlight on some of the sensible, strange and silly aspects of football (or soccer to some). Hopefully wide ranging, it will specifically focus on English and American league football.
About the author:Surprisingly slow for a short lad, he‘s not afraid to push on when the chips are down.
I‘m an Englishman who has lived in the US of A for the last ten years and closely follow the English Premier League. I also doggedly try to follow as many other interesting and varied football stories as I can.
Full disclosure: I am a Liverpool fan, but will do my best to ’calm down‘ when discussing them, or rivals.
