The universal “cheat code” for starting conversations ... 🤝

Works in the supermarket, the pub, and the airport queue. Does anything beat football as a social icebreaker? 🧊

Is there a better conversation starter? 🗣️

➡️ Wherever I go, football is the subject in common, knowing someone’s home city team, a player from their country or a moment. It starts so many conversations.

I’m officially moving to Dubai! 🇦🇪 But I have a major concern… ⚽️

I’ve spent years traveling across Europe to find the best, football atmospheres.

I’m looking for the spots in Dubai where there’s fans singing the screens are massive, and the energy is 10/10. 🍻🏟️

Help a guy out: 👇 Where is the BEST place in Dubai to watch the Premier League?
(Bonus points if they have a decent Guinness)

Travelling through Northern Italy I noticed a pitch on the hillside, basking in afternoon mountain light.

The Dolomites behind cast a stunning back drop for a game…

Hertha Berlin … in the dead of winter ❄️

It was a toasty -7 degrees outside on the day I chose to experience the Olympic Stadion in Berlin for the first time. What a glorious stadium it is.

We were in frozen beers territory 🍻🥶 but it didn’t stop us enjoying this 2-2 thriller. @herthabsc put on an exciting first half display, and the home support behind the goal was immense.

I’ll be returning to watch Hertha at the Olympic Stadium again, but for sure in warmer conditions.

What happens when it’s -7 degrees at a football match? 🥶❄️

The coldest game I’ve ever been too, and one of the most impressive stadiums.

I have found footballs best kept secret…⚽️

I cycled to Feyenoord in the Netherlands to find the holy grail of stadium snacks: a burger and hot dog vending machine 🍔

Football food at the push of a button—why isn’t this in every stadium yet? 😮

Would you trust a vending machine burger at half-time? Let me know below! 👇

No beer in the football stadium? 🍺🚫 This is the reality of Spanish football.

Unless you’re in the VIP hospitality suites, alcohol is strictly banned inside Spanish football stadiums🏟️

Pre match vibes do not disappoint however, as the party is going on in the surrounding streets right up until Kick Off☀️🇪🇸

Should beer be legal in stadiums? Let me know below ⬇️

Is this the year Coventry City return to the Premier League? ⚽️

I was in the stands for Coventry City v Bristol City yesterday, and Frank Lampard’s influence is undeniable. It feels like it’s only a matter of time now…

After narrowly missing out on Premier League promotion recently, Frank Lampard has us playing incredible, free-flowing football, and we are arguably looking at a record-breaking season.

What a journey from League Two to here!

When you contribute to a quality magazine 🙏👌blessed to be able to do something I enjoy so much ⚽️

I knew when I was watching Pisa at the end of last season I was watching something special.

The shots I took captured were raw passion of a starved fanbase and a club who craved success for so long.

@pisasportingclub

I was proud and honoured to contribute to @halftime.speech for Issue 2. Glad these moments get to live on in your collection 👌

FIFA Football Museum 🇨🇭: WAS IT WORTH IT? ⚽️

Zurich delivered, beautiful city. This was my third visit to Switzerland and it’s an incredible country.

I took a break from the mountains in search football memorabilia and the World Cup Trophy 🏆

Ticket Price: Not cheap, but a good experience. Take a watch to see you should add this to your travel list.
