Kyle Barber Bundesliga Contributor

I’m in my mid-twenties, and work and live in London, having grown up in the Midlands, and then gone to Uni up north.I’m an avid fan of German football – and all things Deutsch – and have followed the Bundesliga for about ten years. In England, I’m a Leicester City fan, but enjoy watching and talking about all levels of football, across all countries! I also have a great love of track & field athletics, and pretty much all sport. I want to create a greater appreciation for the Bundesliga in the UK, and will happily talk about it all day!

Donald C Stewart – SFL Contributor / Ayr United FC Fan

Formerly top scorer, with 2 in their best ever season for his Boys Brigade side, and he was the goalkeeper. Donald has followed the fortunes of his home side – Ayr, faithlessly for over 30 years. With several weans to his name he has been successful in spreading the season ticket virus to only one! You can read about his exploits with daughter Niamh in the Ayr United match day programme whilst you can hear and download his ravings from Kick Talk where is a regular contributor. Away from the terraces, Donald is an educationalist, writer and producer for theatre with several awards to his name.

Tony Lago – MLS Contributor

Blessed to be the only writer on the opposite side of the Atlantic. Home grown football talent in the Toronto area, I’ve played with and against some world class talent. Instead of accepting offers from NCAA Division I schools for football (soccer, as it’s known here in North America) I decided to study engineering instead. My passion for football has not dimineshed. Grew up following La Vecchia Signora and the rest of Serie A and all international competitions. Now we have the MLS here in Toronto. I’m a season ticket holder for TFC and I look forward to bringing a fans perspective (sometimes positive and sometimes negative) to everything that is Major League Soccer.

Charlie Scott – Contributor

A sometime English student and self-confessed football obsessive. As soon as I realised, at the age of about 14, that unlike in my dreams, I wasn’t going to be a professional footballer for Tottenham Hotspur I began considering alternative careers. For the past two years I’ve written about football for the Newcastle University paper, and last year spent an enjoyable month or so being The Observer’s Ghana fan as part of their ‘World Cup Fans Network’ (Damn you Luis Suarez). I try to take in as much football as I can, but focus most of my attention upon the top divisions in England, Spain and Italy along with any major european or international competitions.

Ogo Sylla – Serie A Contributor

A big AC Milan fan. With my passion for the Red&Black naturally came a love for Serie A. Since I can ever remember I have lived and breathed Calcio, even in these dark times for the league as a whole. Serie A has not been particularly well regarded in recent years and I hope that my writings on Calcio can paint a brighter picture of a league that still boasts of talent and great stories. I hope that you will all follow me and my writings on this Italian adventure about all the action and drama around the Peninsula.

Paul Todd – EPL Contributor

A 22 year old based in Manchester. Originally from a small town near Middlesbrough, brought into a life of misery through no fault of my own, being taken to Ayresome Park and the Riverside before and after I had the choice for myself. I cover the Barclays Premier League; taking a look at the action from both ends of the table and the bits and bobs that happen around the middle.
