About Charlie Carmichael
Charlie is an experienced football writer, having worked in the industry for over six years. He started out as a freelancer — writing for titles such as The Guardian and FourFourTwo — before taking the reins at COPA90, overseeing the brand’s editorial strategy. Now writing for GiveMeSport, he covers everything from breaking news, exclusive interviews, and in-depth features.
Football dominates much of his pastime, too. He can often be found in the stands of Leicester City’s King Power Stadium, complaining about what’s unfolding before him and longing for the glory days of 2016.
