International Fan of the Year
By Frazer Campbell My head was spinning; it felt like it was only the previous day that I was speaking to Tyler Conklin via chat and then Quincy Williams in London, and now there I was standing next to Sauce Gardner in the heart of his hometown, Detroit, for the NFL Draft, and it was…

Painting London Green 2024
By Alasdair Mackay I have been to Tottenham Hotspur’s Stadium a few times to watch Premier League matches.

What’s the game plan?
By Nic We were all there in the Barrow Boy & Banker, the Jets chants rang loud, the beers flowed and Cockney John Crow photobombed Christopher Johnson whilst poking his tongue out.

Finding your people
By Alasdair Mackay Who amongst us hasn’t done this? You come out of the tube at the end of a long day; you see a man waiting at the bus stop wearing a Patriots beanie and you boo him – the volume of the boo directly correlating to the size of the Pats fan and…
