Jon's Bio

Hey there!

I'm Jon and I'm 19. I'm a massive Manchester United fan and follower of the game in general. I'm currently at University in the wonderful city of Sheffield in England where I am studying (in the broadest sense of the term) French, German and Catalan. Modern Languages alongside football are my passion in life. Although I have no idea where my degree will take me, all I know is I'm enjoying life, and writing here on B/R is a pleasure.

I saw this website advertised on Facebook and since that fateful moment a couple of months ago I've contributed regularly to the World Football community on B/R, whether through articles of my own, or commenting on others' work.

I've written a series of articles outlining the great rivalries in world football today and also some pieces on English and European football. I mainly concentrate on Manchester United though.

I have supported Manchester United since I can consciously remember- somewhere in the region of 1993-94 when I was four. My dad's passion for the game and the club have been forced (willingly, I might add!) upon me.

It is hard to some up my passion for my club in words. They have given me some of the best nights of my life (Moscow 2008, regaining the Premier League in 2007) but also some of my lowest times (being knocked out at the group stages of the Champions League by Benfica 2005, FA Cup Final defeats to Everton 1995, and Arsenal 2005)

Football can change my mood in an instant, for better or for worse. But the game we all love can bring people together like nothing else.

I hope you enjoy my work. Let me know what you think of it, anyway. I always want to improve in verything I do, so any pointers or advice will always be welcomed and greatly appreciated!

Finally, just a word of thanks to everybody in this World Football community here on B/R... it would be nothing without the hard work of so many people so give yourselves a big pat on the back!
