Soccer City FC Contributor: Alan

Alan is a soccer enthusiast and a devoted Manchester City fan. He is from York in England and watches as many games on TV as well as attending games, having made recent visits to Premiership stadiums such Ewood Park, The Riverside, The Stadium of Light and of course the City of Manchester Stadium. He will be reporting and analysing the latest news mainly from Manchester City but also soccer in general. Having already experienced some ups and downs of being a City fan, he hopes to be commenting on many positive things in the future! Other main interests in soccer include the English National Team and soccer generally across the world. Alan has been warned to call it soccer rather than football!

Outside of soccer, Alan is currently studying at college with the view to studying at university before going on a gap year in which he hopes to travel around Europe to watch the soccer culture in other countries. Alan has an interest in the psychological aspects of sport and hopes to expand his knowledge of this in the following years.

As of August 2008, Alan is now a full-time writer at Soccer City FC and you can read his work on a weekly basis undering the listing Alan D.
