I Dont Even Smoke! A brief history of life love and football through blue-tinted glasses - Oh yes and a cigar!

Football is a game of passions and opinions. If you're a fan, it's both your boon and your bane; the drug that you simply cannot live without. Your team will break your heart, make you despair and swear that you'll give them up. Like some lovestruck fool ensnared by a femme fatale however, you'll be back again next week. You know it. They know it. Just accept it and embrace it. The lows are bad, but oh, those highs..... Now in my sixth decade, I've been a football fan for over fifty years and a Chelsea fan for every one of them. I hold FA Coaching badges and was a member of the FA Coaches Association for over 15 years, working with numerous teams of varying age and ability levels; it's the next best thing to playing. I've been writing about football since 2012, and have had numerous articles published across a wide range of websites and magazines.
