The Spoiler is a sports gossip website that looks at the increasing “celebrification” of sports stars and all that global fame and vast wealth brings. From the conspicuous consumption, the girlfriends and the fleets of cars, to the vanity, folly and egomania, we hope you love it.

Ryan Bailey
Ryan used to write for FHM, Zoo and the Non-League Paper. He enjoys long walks on the beach, sticking it to the man, doing De Niro faces in the mirror, the works of Journey and adding ‘meister’ to the end of surnames rather than thinking of proper nicknames. He once went to the Sealife Centre in Hastings.

Josh Burt
Born into a happy home, Josh has dedicated his life to becoming a man of words. The first logical step was to attain a weak degree from a former polytechnic, then work as a photocopier for about six months. Since then, he employed his amazing vocabulary by writing for more! magazine, gentlemen’s favourites like FHM and Zoo, urban bible Touch, and he once even graced the Sun offices with his beautiful sculpted face for nearly a year. His favourite fruit is oranges, and his number one punch is “rabbit”.

Michael Lintorn
Michael was too smart for university, so he decided to become a journalist instead. After travelling from Ebbsfleet to Grays to Tonbridge to cover the Non-League Paper’s glamour ties, he decided the excitement was too much, and signed up for The Spoiler.
