Personal Insights
Jamie has a real passion for all things football and particularly enjoys visiting new grounds of all shapes and sizes.
The EFL is where it’s at though, where the football is still largely untarnished by the financial clout of wealthy owners within the Premier League (except Birmingham and Wrexham). He is a traditionalist and prefers to watch his football without outside interference (VAR, we’re looking at you!).
