Welcome

I have been a huge fan of Germany and its language and people for many years. I also love football and so researching, reading and writing about Germany and its football is a perfect way to indulge both passions.

This website is for anyone wanting to find out more about German football – the history and traditions of the clubs, how to get tickets, things to do and see beyond the football.

And if you want to find out more, you can take a look at my series of books about German football clubs.
