The two football teams in my life, one I inherited from birth, the other I adopted because I fell in love with the place. United and Napoli. Both I'm convinced will drive me absolutely crackers over the next two weeks.

PSG are the best team I've seen for a few years now. Going to be a cracking final against Inter under Inzaghi, whom when it truly matters are remarkable. This for me a grand European Cup final. Can't be doing with this champions league crap. Live your history, don't lose it.

Coming on really well. If i can't write a half decent read about United, SSC Napoli, Manchester and Naples I want shooting. Only problem is i have no ending as such yet, all depends if Napoli win the title. So working on two versions at the same time! Available June.

From AD.64 to 2025. A selection of my writing on Naples and much later! The football club that represents this city with a beautiful passion. There are articles, book excerpts & actual books in here. I was born and raised in Manchester, my city, but Naples is special for me.

Anybody got a picture i could use for a book on all my articles (fifty chapters) since Fergie left? One that sums everything up! Will obviously give you full credit. The book is going to be called: FOLLOWING FERGIE Pain, Protests and Misplaced Passes! cheers John...

Between books at the moment, like being between raindrops for me that. Nice to chill a little.

Love doing these 12-500 stories & they seem to be doing okay. One picked up by a production company in LA, two more translated into Italian in Naples. They begin as character/narration pieces then turn into short stories. Hopefully they keep working out. Next up out tomorrow....

BALLAD OF THE BASQUE: Available tomorrow on Amazon. A 12-500 release taking in past matches between Manchester United & Athletic Bilbao, ahead of next week's semi-final. Not just a football book, the blood stained history of the Basque is covered. None more so than Guernica.

This taken on my wedding day. My gran was the biggest United fan ever, but was always too nervous to listen or watch them! But soon as the final whistle went, i got the call. Even today i listen out for that. This for me what my club means ❤️🍷

Sad news about Zirkzee. The kid has come on loads this season and will be missed. Tomorrow feels like a cup final. Already nervous, a sign that no matter how many seasons fly by, the passion and madness remains worst than ever! Come on you infuriating reds!
