May 07 - The start of MyFootballClub
I first met Will in Paddington Station in early May 2007. I had got a train up from Bath, where I was based at the time. Will had just launched the first incarnation of the site and got over 20,000 people registering their interest. I had found out about the site from the BBC early on, signed up, and then emailed Will to see if he wanted any assistance in building a football/social networking/management site. We met in the Bishops Head over a few pints of Guinness, talked football, talked cricket and spent about 10 minutes talking websites. Will wanted tech assistance, I wanted to help build the site - little did we know that 12 months later 30,000 of us would be basking in the glow of a Wembley win.
