Born in the south east of Ireland, Simon put his life-long love of football to good use when he started a successful independent blog in 2010. That opened up an alternative route to a career in journalism, and having had work published across a number of sites and publications, Simon joined the staff at Spotlight Sports Group in 2018.
The draw for the Quarter and Semi Finals of the 2019/20 Champions and Europa League has concluded, with four mouth-watering two-legged continental tussles determined and scheduled for each competition in August later this year.
