Tom Palmer

Tom Palmer is a football fan and a writer. But he wasn't always good at writing. He did badly at school and hated reading, in particular, until he was seventeen. It was reading about football that changed his life. Because it was then he decided he wanted to become a football writer, so he could be paid for watching football and writing about it. It took a few years, but now he goes all over the world to watch football and sometimes he writes about it. Sometimes he just watches it.

He likes writing stories like Football Detective as much as writing about what happens in real games.
