Football as it was. Stories as they deserve.
Relive footballs the game's golden eras — the players, the matches, the clubs, and the moments that made football what it is.
The RETRO FOOTBALL WRITER
I have spent the last two decades working in professional football, I have seen promotions, relegations, managerial changes, transfers, takeover attempts, last minute title winners, heartbreak and triumph.
The Retro Football Writer began is a personal archive — a place to put the research, the reading, and the thoughts that had been with me for years. It is a tribute to my father - the man who encouraged my love for football and inspires me daily, even though he is no longer with us.
These are not just nostalgia pieces. They are proper football writing — researched, argued, and told with the same care you'd give to any serious historical subject. Because that's what football history is.
