Daniel Storey grew up in Nottingham, where he attended Nottingham High School, and studied at the University of Manchester. A lifelong Nottingham Forest supporter, he built his career writing about football online and in print and has since become a familiar name for football readers across the UK.
His work is best known for long-form features and portraits of players and managers, alongside weekly analysis of the Premier League. He has a particular interest in Italian football, the history of the England national team and the culture around the English game, from kits and grounds to the supporters who follow their clubs across the country.
Storey spent five years at Football365, rising to deputy editor before leaving in October 2018. His columns and features there built a large readership and led to his 2016 Football Writer of the Year award.
