O autorze

The first football ground that Ryan Herman visited was Upton Park on Saturday, April 27, 1978, when Liverpool beat West Ham 2-0. His first published article appeared in the launch issue of FourFourTwo magazine in 1994. Around the same time, he started his first full-time job as a sports reporter, ticking off new grounds every other week as he travelled the country covering Chelsea, Fulham and Queens Park Rangers. He has written for a broad range of titles including The Rugby Journal, SportBusiness, as well as GQ where he wrote about his experiences at the Hillsborough disaster in 1989. He is currently a regular contributor for The New European newspaper covering sport and social issues.
