The KopJimmy Areabi (Editor) - Huyton raised like Steven Gerrard, football has been my passion since the time I received a Kenny Dalglish badge as a toddler, and I’ve followed the Reds ever since – something a lot easier during the 80′s, when I worshipped John Barnes! I have produced work for many football sites & am now happy to run a major site on the club I love – providing our fans with a voice, bringing as much information and news on the club as possible. Having played football all my life, I aim to continue longer than Stanley Matthews…

David Tyrer (Writer) - I’m a 29 year old Liverpool fan, originally from Woolton, now living in the City Centre.  I’ve supported the club since the day I was born (seriously, my mum decided that for me) and my favourite player of the past generation is Sami Hyypia.  I have a degree in English Literature, and I am looking to get into journalism/writing on a professional basis.

Elliott Tunstall  (Writer) – Born and bred in Liverpool, I have supported Liverpool since the day my father held me at my birth and declared me a red for life.. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am currently studying Sports Journalism at University and hope to one day become a full-time sports writer. My favourite Liverpool player of all time is, the best player of my generation, Steven Gerrard as, for me, he epitomises everything that represents the club I love.

Daniel Thomas (Writer) – I’m a fully trained journalist who shunned a career in the profession due to my disillusionment with the tabloid press, instead hoping to become a professional author. I’ve written for The Liverpool Way for 7 years and am a regular on the forum using the name Agt Provocateur. A passionate member of supporter group Kop Faithful, I’ve been a season ticket holder of 8 years and a regular match goer since 1995. When not criticising diminishing refereeing standards in football, I can be found at Langtree Park, the home of St Helens Rugby League Club being highly critical of non existent standards of refereeing in Rugby League. I’m is also a massive Lancashire and England cricket fan.

Chris Tobin (Writer) – I am a writer and sports jornalist with many passions of which Liverpool Football Club heads the list, having been a supporter since the 1974 F.A.Cup Final, I am lucky enough to have enjoyed much success through the subsequent years.
Currently I live in Nottingham & have a little soft spot for the worlds oldest club Nott’s County who incidently I had trials with when I was 13, but then we have all had trials have we not!! I am at my happiest when writing about Liverpool and football in general, I have an opinion which I want people to hear. I will always debate and converse, so dont be shy always get in touch. dont just spectate, participate. I support both the Justice for the 96 campaign and also Dont buy the Sun, having written articles on both subjects.
Quote from my old school report ” Christopher in an eye server ” so i suggest you keep looking.

Robert O’Reardon (Writer) – 20 year old Liverpool fan from Dublin. My first game was a 1-0 home defeat to Sheffield Wednesday in December 1996 and since then I’ve been addicted. I’m a regular contributor to The Liverpool Way Forum and have been posting there for a number of years. I’m a keen Twitter user and I also enjoy watching cricket.

Derek Byrne (Writer) – I’ve been following the Reds ever since I set eyes on the majestic sight that is the Kop in full voice with flags aloft, albeit from the television with my dad as a 5 year old in my hometown of Dublin! He would tell me about the Irish contingent, the likes of Heighway, Whelan, Beglin and Houghton, he is a Leeds fan due to his hero Johnny Giles but I had to go against the grain on this one, his 3 year old grandson will not be afforded the same opportunity!
I completed a Higher National Diploma in Print Journalism back in Dublin where I briefly worked for the Irish Independent on a placement, covering Rugby, obituaries (including the great John Charles) and some sub editing. I then made the short journey to  Liverpool, where I currently reside to undertake International Journalism at John Moores University. Some will say that over the years I have picked up a Jan Molbyesque native twang but I’m not so sure!
I was also lucky enough to have worked for the socialist publication “Morning Star” covering the Reds at Anfield which allowed me gain access to the press box and press conferences, I covered about 10 games and loved every minute of it!
I am excited to be joining the team at live4liverpool.com. From what I have seen so far the standard of articles have been first class, I hope to contribute to this by publishing pieces which create opinion and debate.

Barry Ringsted (Writer) – I was born and raised on Merseyside and have been a devoted Liverpool supporter since the early 70′s. I had the privilege of watching Liverpool became the dominant force in football during the 70′s and 80′s. There were some very special moments such as being at Molineux in ’76 when three late goals won Liverpool the league, the only time I’ve run onto the pitch to celebrate along with thousands of others I might add, being behind the goal at Wembley in 1986 when we beat Everton 3-1 in the FA Cup final and Paris in 1981 when Alan Kennedy won us the European Cup. I got to thank him personally a few years ago. I now live on the west coast of Canada and never miss a game. A lunchtime kick off for means me getting up at 4:30 am and I get back to the UK to see the Reds play a few games each season. I’ve been writing about Liverpool for several years including the Echo’s “Liverpool Banter” and my own blog. I’m delighted to be a part of the Live4Liverpool team and look forward to sharing and debating the thing that matters most to all of us.

Abhijan Barua (Writer) – Abhijan Barua’s a British Broadcast Journalist currently working for China Radio International in Beijing. As a lifelong Liverpool supporter, he hopes to add fresh perspective on Live4Liverpool, looking in to the big issues surrounding the club.

Ben McCluskey (Writer) – I graduated from the University of York in 2010 with a 2:1 in History and I am hoping to pursue a career in journalism. Writing has always been a passion of mine, as have Liverpool FC who I have supported since I was four years old. The first trophy I saw Liverpool win was the Worthington Cup in 2001 and I’ve been lucky enough to see the club win several more trophies since then! My five favourite Liverpool players (past and present) are Jamie Carragher, Robbie Fowler, Sami Hyypia, John Arne Riise and of course, Steven Gerrard. In addition to writing for Live4Liverpool, I run my own website, which covers news, sport, blogs and entertainment. I am living and working in York, trying to save money so that I can study journalism at postgraduate level.
