AUTHOR PROFILE: Zarif Rasul

Football journalist who spends far too many of his waking hours mentally debating the virtues of 4-2-3-1 and wondering exactly when it was that every Premier League player started to wear those silly under-vests. Also spend an unjustifiably large chunk of my time lamenting the current state of the music industry. Avid Liverpool fan, rejuvenated and revitalised by the return of the King!
