Just 4 years ago, we were all locked up at home with nothing to do. Some of us picked up fitness, tried new hobbies, or set new goals.

I took a trip down memory lane, sorting through my old football kits and medals from tournaments I’d played in.

Then I remembered my football cards—and just how much I loved collecting them. Drogba, Lampard, Zidane, Ronaldo—I had them all.

The moment I found that folded at the corners (I know), 2008 Ashley Cole Match Attax card, I was hooked again.

I started doing my research, and realised how incredible this community is. Since then I’ve met some amazing, genuinely passionate people in this space.

So, as a nod to my younger self, I thought: why not help support this great industry as it grows? People need news, they need community, and they need an easy way to collect their favourite players and teams.

So here it is—The Huddle FC. A community for collectors by collectors.

The mission is simple: bring collectors, fans, and players closer together through our shared love of football and collecting. It’s going to be fun!

Here’s to more collecting, more connecting, and making this the best corner of football fandom out there.

Cheers,
Tosin
