About The Author

Welcome to The Technical Area. My name’s Sam and I’m the author and producer of the site.

I created The Technical Area as a way to share compelling footballing content and provide a fresh new angle on topics that aren’t always considered in mainstream media.

Having attended my first match at Portman Road at the age of 5 (a 0-0 draw with QPR), I’m sure we can all agree there is no feeling quite like supporting your side through the highs and lows of our beloved sport and I hope to reflect this passion through the site.

Although I have always been a die-hard supporter of Ipswich Town, placements in Germany and France have allowed me to watch and support the teams Werder Bremen and Auxerre respectively.

I wish to channel this wider knowledge of European football into the site in order to shed light on topics that are potentially more unknown to English supporters.

Going forward, I hope you will find my content engaging and will connect with me on social media to keep up to date with my footballing stories from around the globe.

Thank you and enjoy The Technical Area!
