About Hal Fish

Hal is an experienced freelance sports journalist at GiveMeSport, having previously produced content for websites such as Goal, football.london, HertsLive, 90min, The Set Pieces and many others. 

Hal picked up his MA in Sports Journalism and NCTJ qualification from St Mary's University Twickenham, Hal has since been part of Valnet since late 2021.

He started as a freelance football writer for This Is Futbol and carried that on over to FootballFanCast before becoming their social media editor. He now works as an editor for GiveMeSport, predominantly focusing on Premier League, Champions League, and English football.

He also helps GiveMeSport cover other major sports such as MMA, boxing, darts, tennis, and golf. Key events like the summer and winter Olympics are also highlights when they appear on the sporting calendar. 

Hal is an Arsenal and Three Lions fan, but keeps an eye on the All Blacks, his favourite rugby team, having grown up in New Zealand. 

Favorite Sports Team

Growing up about an hour north of London, Hal is a lifelong Arsenal fan and would occasionally go to Highbury as a youngster. A move to New Zealand, aged 10, would mean watching the Gunners at 4am for around a decade but his support never wavered. Now back in England, he semi-regularly attends games at the Emirates. 

Favorite Player

Dennis Bergkamp. A lot of people think Thierry Henry is the greatest Premier League player of all time. They are probably correct but Bergkamp sparked a different kind of joy. Even the Frenchman was in awe: "I tried to copy everything from him."

Favorite Sports Moment

Arsenal's Invincibles season stands out as the greatest achievement in Premier League history. Santi Cazorla's free-kick vs Hull in the FA Cup final is also unforgettable.
