Background

About James Rowe

I have had a passion for football from an early age and in July 2016 I decided to start to conduct my own interviews with professional players and managers. My first ever interview was with then FC Den Bosch manager Wiljan Vloet, After gaining more experience here in the Netherlands and being able to stand out by interviewing in Dutch I was approached by World Fooball Index if they could publish my interviews. two years on I have in excess of 400 interviews with players and manager at all levels of World and European football. I am able to interview professional players and managers in different languages English, Dutch and Spanish and make them feel comfortable and that enables me to write written interviews of excellent depth and quality. I always say that the next interview is the most important and that every professional football player or manager has a story to tell.In August 2020 I moved on from World Football Index to become Chief Football Writer of Football CFB which I remained until July 2021. In October 2020 I was approached by well-known publisher The Secret Footballer with a view to publishing my interviews on their website.From November 2020 to December 2021 The Secret Footballer published 60 of my interviews on their website.Since 2016 all 408 of my written interviews have been viewed more than 750K times.
