Every day I seem to get an email from someone inviting me to write for a medical/ biochemical / sciencey journal. I know there are other Pete Watson out there who do that but it can’t be that hard to check where those ones are working? I mean even academics must be capable of that? Surely?

I've added another video to the back catalogue of the Sporting Lunchtime Lectures, Record Cafe, Bradford. This from December 2023 when Dr Pete Watson from the University of Leeds spoke about football and culture in Chile during the time of the coup of 1973. #SportHistory #FootballHistory #Chile

Struggled through today with a headache and lots of body aches. Saved by doing two student meetings in a sun trap by my office this afternoon, which warmed the bones. Been craving a bath to lie and soak in since about 9.30 this morning

A quick reminder that if you fancy listening to a podcast on Colombian football history from 1962-1994 (I know this is a common feeling), you can listen to me on the Soccernostalgia podcast here: open.spotify.com/episode/0eMA...
