Dreams of playing professional football were dashed at an extremely young age - basically when he first tried kicking a ball - so Scott decided to do the next best thing: write about it. Graduating from the University of Brighton with a degree in sports journalism in 2015, Scott has been a mainstay in football media ever since. When he's not writing, you'll find him supporting a blue-and-white-hooped Championship team or serving as Lionel Messi's biggest cheerleader. Despite his best efforts, he still can't shake the Peter Odemwingie lookalike claims.
