About Us

Talking Points is a football blog run from Nottingham and East Sussex in the UK. We cover stories circulating on the back-pages, as well as the lesser-known footballing tales. 

I started as a writer by covering non-league football for Ringmer FC, and have reported for AFC Uckfield Town and Hastings United FC as well. During this time, my pieces have been featured in the Sussex Express, Eastbourne Herald and Non-League Paper. 

I began my BA Journalism course at Nottingham Trent University in September 2020, and will focus on Sports Journalism in my second year. During this time, Talking Points will be a portfolio for some of my works as I build skills, knowledge and connections in the industry. 

Hope you enjoy!
Will :)
