Chris Machin

Chris Machin was born into the Wolf Pack (Wolverhampton Wanderers) in 1989 and grew up like many others, on a healthy diet of soccer and music. Machin has been a follower of the Gold 'n' Black since he can remember and a season ticket holder in the famous 'Southbank' for nine consecutive seasons. He harbours aspirations of becoming a professional sports writer/analyst in some format and will be taking his qualifications in a years time.
 Aside from what life throws his way by default of being a Wolves fan, Chris also makes time to live his own version of the American Dream exploring the realms of the NBA, NFL, WWE, NHL, MLS and MLB. He uses this as a platform to write under his creation the ' Trans Atlantic Sports Romantic' on his own domain footydaily.com where Chris shares his thoughts and analysis on all sports in the UK and North America and would love one day to take his work to America and write or report for ESPN in some capacity.
