Martin Palazzotto

Martin Palazzotto is the former editor of the now defunct World Football Columns. He also has written for other deceased football blogs, including the Equaliser, the Gib Football Show, Man and Ball, and strange bOUnce. Hopefully, that trail of carnage does not bode ill for Stretty News. His Twitter feed is @PickettPocketPr.

Buy his entertaining collection of sport fiction and United may just salvage this season.
