The Secret Footballer is white …right?
As Tom points out in his comment on yesterday’s post TSF’s racism article does quite strongly imply that he himself is white. The quote is below. (more…)
TSF on racism in football
This week TSF wrote a spot on article talking about racism in football in reaction to the abuse received by Ashley Young, Ashley Cole and Theo Walcott in Bulgaria last Friday evening. It is true that England has gone a long way to eradicating racism on the terraces in the past few decades, though just […]

TSF on agents, ‘tapping up’ and deadline day
Fascinating article again from TSF. Of course ‘tapping up’ happens in all walks of life, but it is funny how it’s made out to be a cardinal sin by modern day media when in fact we’d be stupid to think it wouldn’t happen. We seem to have learnt two things from this article: 1. That […]
New Poll

By the end of the weekend 62% of your 283 votes were for ‘other’. I have therefore decided to […]
TSF on new boys in the big time
This is a great article on the attitudes of players and clubs towards being in the Premier League for the first time. TSF manages to take a nice little swipe at the lazy punditry we see all over, in this case it is Alan Hansen and MOTD that take the glut. He says he has […]
TSF on going in to a new season
The new Premier League season is upon us and so returns our favourite covert, scribbling footballer. The first article of the new season is about what the opening day entails for a footballer. He talks of the buzz created from a first day victory as well as the bedding in of new players. Not a […]

Early pre-season
On 23rd June TSF tweeted, “First run today, almost died but never EVER be the one that stops running first!!“, implying that he was with team members on first day of pre-season. 23rd of June is indeed very early to return to pre-season, though not for Fulham whose first match of the season was just […]
TSF on Survival Sunday

TSF on the lost passion of the FA Cup
Today’s article from the Guardian’s Secret Footballer is about the passion of the FA Cup. Or more, the loss of it. Yesterday he tweeted “Where has this passion for the cup gone? Does anybody care about the FA Cup?” and quoted Bill Shankly saying, “Sickness would not have kept me away from this one…If I’d […]
TSF on referees
A fascinating insight in this week’s article from The Secret Footballer. Learning that some referees swear at the players, telling them to “fuck off if we go near them and worse” really did surprise me. No real clues this week in terms of his identity. Ok, he has been poked in the chest by Howard […]
