Anmeldelse: The Football Historian Website

05/06-2019

Vi er gået en lille smule i nørdemode her i sommerferien, og har kigget lidt på nogle af de lidt mindre kendte hjemmesider derude. En af disse er en lille Wwix side, som er drevet af freelance journalisten Peter Kenny Jones. Peter skriver for en række forskellige magaziner, og det er ofte ældre historier fra fodboldverdenen.

Vi har siddet med interesse og læst artikler som;
Shankly-–-Promotion-From-Division-2-in-1961-62
Escobar-The-Colombian-Who-Scored-a-Fatal-Own-Goal-in-the-1994-World-Cup
Were India Banned From World Cup 1950 For Wanting To Play Barefoot?

Siden er fyldt med artikler som disse, og henvender sig især til folk med en dybere interesse i engelsk fodbold - med fokus på holdene i Nordengland. Vi har kradset en smule mere i overfladen, og spurgt Peter om hans tanker bag siden - og dens formål. Læs med her:

"My website - https://peterkj.wixsite.com/football-historian was started up as a way to keep all of my work together. I wanted to write for as many different websites and magazines as possible but have somewhere were all of my work was available to view. It started off with the work I wrote in university, including both of my dissertations for my Masters and my undergrad work.

My aim is to continue to write about football history as a living. I have just had my 49th article published online and I look forward to what the future may hold. My ambition is to work in football, I am pursuing many avenues to get there. I would love to work as a football historian for a club or organisation. Failing that, I would really enjoy being paid as a football writer. Despite my specialism being writing about football history, my work for websites and magazines has seen me write about much more modern events too. 

The main purpose of my website is to act as a portfolio for all my work and the more people who see it, the more chance there is that I can be paid doing something I love. I am very happy doing this as a hobby but if it could get me somewhere in life then that would be even better. If people want to have a look at my site and subscribe so that they can receive notifications of when a new article is released, that would be great. If not, my twitter @PeterKennyJones is always updated with my latest work and everything can be viewed there from the pinned tweet on my page."
