Born and raised in Dublin but living in Bologna, Italy, for more than a decade, so now adept at mispronouncing words in two languages. Joined GOAL in 2012 as a news writer but moved onto match coverage and then the editorial team. Attended the past three World Cups, in Brazil, Russia and Qatar, and now covering all aspects of the game as chief features writer. Has never understood how the Messi-Ronaldo debate was even a thing.
