⚽ My Story

Devon Roots & Bundesliga Beginnings

Born in Devon the same year England fell to Germany at the World Cup, my fascination with German football began early. I vaguely recall Bayern Munich beating Leeds in the 1975 European Cup Final, sparking a lifelong relationship of the Bundesliga.

Cold War & Berlin Wall Witness

After intensive Russian language training with the British Royal Air Force, I served in Berlin during the Cold War, witnessing history unfold with the fall of the Berlin Wall. My weekends were filled with matches at Hertha BSC and Tennis Borussia, and my passion for German football culture only grew deeper.

Journalism & Munich Life

Post-RAF, I began my media career with the Tavistock Times before relocating to Munich in 1997. Since then, I’ve covered everything from Bundesliga derbies to Plymouth Argyle from afar, blending sharp reporting with cultural insight.

✍️ Cricket & Communications

A keen cricketer and club captain, I helped launch the Munich Cricket Club website, served as Head of Media for the European Cricket Network, and even captained Bayern (yes, at cricket!) against the MCC of Lords.

Also featured as German-language cricket commentator for Eurosport.

⛳ Other Interests

Formerly a single-figure handicap golfer, I still swing the clubs (badly) along with a bit of tennis, enjoy Bavarian countryside walks, and keep a close eye on Plymouth Argyle's fortunes as an original member of the (long-suffering) Pilgrims Podcast team.
