Daniel is the owner/editor of The Kopite and a devoted Liverpool fan or, as some might say, an enemy of the people. He is also a print journalist for Archant, one of the UK's largest regional media companies.
He also takes a keen interest in the Bundesliga, Serie A and MLS while sporting an unhealthy obsession with world-class midfield generals. The day that Andrea Pirlo retired was the worst of Daniel's life, and his greatest wish is that he may one day grow a beard long enough to pay proper tribute to the Italian playmaker.
Feel free to send him a picture of your dog. Cats also welcome. You can keep your horse.
