Author Information
Matt Carver has loved football from a young age, and still dreams of playing for England. As this becomes less and less likely, he instead channels his passion into watching, reading and writing about football. When doing none of these, he likes to think about football. Born and raised in London, he now lives in Hampshire with his wife and daughter.
