About Jake Pearce

Jake Pearce is a final-year Sports Journalism student at Southampton Solent University. 
Jake has previously written at VAVEL and FootballPark, before making the move to GiveMeSport. 
He recently won the Football Writers Association Male Student Football Writer of the Year award following a feature with former Crystal Palace player Danny Butterfield. 
 

Favorite Sports Team

Jake was born into a family of Southampton fans, and he has followed the club ever since, through all of the highs and many, many lows. 

His first ever game was when the Saints faced Coventry on the final day of the Championship,  when a 4-0 win sent the reds marching to the Premier League. 

Favorite Player

For Jake, James Ward-Prowse was one of his favourite players growing up, watching the academy graduate go from a backup option to the main man at St Mary's, gaining traction for his free kick technique. 

He was devastated when Ward-Prowse left the club, especially considering how his career has panned out. 

Jake now enjoys watching Casper Jander in the heart of the Saints midfield. 

Favorite Sports Moment

There was no better day for Jake than being at Wembley to watch the Saints achieve promotion after their EFL play-off final win. 

Although a close second was when he was in the same stadium watching Southampton in the FA cup semi final against Manchester City. 

The moment of when Finn Azaz put the Saints ahead for three minutes was one of his biggest highlights, despite the final result.
