My Memorable Journalistic Year in Retrospect : 2019

Happy New Year ardent reader,

It has been 3 years of sports writing. I started via this blogspot some years back as a hobby and a therapy against the monotony of the corporate world. It garnered great interest, lovely reviews & and I graduated to writing for other sites (both international & local).

The old phrase 'Third time's a Charm' is highly evident in my 3rd year of writing. Since it was a milestone year with notable achievements & unforgettable exposure;

In January, 2 of My articles placed 5th and 8th in AIPS,s Top 10 African submissions for 2018

Post Highbury Blues – The Emirates Stadium Mare

    The more things change the more they stay the same; an ever-popular phrase often associated with Citizens of countries fed up with the usual rhetoric of political parties in Government and in recent times synonymous with disgruntled Arsenal Fans after a loss or a draw. On 8 th June 2006, Club legend Henry scored the last goal at Highbury courtesy an 81 st minute spot-kick. After 93 memorable years, it was time to bid adieu to the stadium that had given us the double-winning teams, Arsene Wenger, Tony Adams, Liam Brady, George Graham, Dennis Bergkamp and the Invincibles.

Three witches vaguely prophesy to Macbeth (by telling him he would become King). He believes it and falls victim to his own ambition thus leading to his ultimate demise. The play manifests the true effects deception and gullibility can have on man. From politics to the corporate world, shades of both abounds. Football as a cultural institution is no exception; In fact it is the perfect litmus test in examining this human phenomenon. Deceptive Players, Gullible Supporters The average career of a professional footballer barring grave injuries lasts around 15 years. From badge-kissing during goal celebrations, to a cheerful phizog when partaking in charitable works on behalf of clubs, footballers sell a fal...
