Football, Matchdays & Great TV
"Whether it's the roar of the stadium on Saturday afternoon or kicking back with a compelling crime drama in the evening, here's what I love watching."
After a full day of climbing stepladders, tracing wiring circuits, and testing fuse boards, there's no better way to unwind than tuning in to live sport or diving into a gripping series.
Football
I've been a lifelong football enthusiast. There's nothing quite like the banter, tactical drama, and sheer unpredictability of matchday weekends.
Matchday Atmosphere
I try to get to as many live ground fixtures as possible each season. The electric floodlights, roaring crowds, and matchday pies are hard to beat.
Tactical Discussion & Fantasy League
Like many tradesmen, half the Monday morning tea breaks are spent debating refereeing VAR decisions and checking our weekend fantasy league points table!
Favourite Teams
Cheering on the home team through every high and low of the league campaign.
Midweek continental clashes under stadium lights under knockout pressure.
Summer Euros & World Cups when the whole country gathers around the screen.
TV & Shows
A selection of binge-worthy series, classic crime thrillers, and current watchlist favourites.
