Drew Farmer

Born and raised in USA, I've spent much of the last six years living in South Korea, England, Hungary, Qatar and now back to England. My first memories of soccer was playing at the age of 5, but I didn't see my first match on TV until six years later. That was the 1994 World Cup, and I've been hooked ever since. I gained my England FA coaching certificate and coached at the youth level in England and Hungary while working in education. I am the Forza Italian Football Genoa correspondent, at least until they are relegated to Serie B. Forza Grifone! Drew Farmer can be found on Twitter @Calciofarmer.
