About A Football Report’s Creators

A Football Report was founded in July 2009 due to a set of (somewhat) immaculate and esoteric expressions. A Football Report is maintained by the creators of the site, the Beard brothers, two life-long supporters of the beautiful game. Unless stated otherwise, all content on A Football Report is courtesy of the Beards.

Eric Beard:

Plying his trade on the pitch as a centre-mid who has been known to get quite stuck-in, Eric currently is a student and plays football for his university. After spending a year in Italy training at Ascoli’s youth academy, Eric still is dedicated to the beautiful game, but has decided to focus on his studies (Economics and Philosophy) as well. A maestro of Italian calcio as well a Premier League scholar, Eric often finds himself musing over the drama, the tactics, and the humour of the game. He enjoys providing a lens of philosophical insight whenever possible in football, as well as executing well-timed two-footed tackles.

Jordan Beard:

Fluent in Spanish, Jordan can be found performing rabonas and stepovers throughout the midfield and along the touchline. An avid follower of Spanish and English football, Jordan is a La Liga aficionado who could also tell you where Nottingham Forest sits in the Championship table.
