Mark Langshaw is an experienced freelance journalist who has been covering everything from gaming and tech, to movies and sports for various publications over the last 15 years. When he isn't writing about these things, he can usually be found consuming too much of them, or trying to explain to his four-year-old daughter why Super Mario World is humankind’s greatest achievement (unsuccessfully). Mark also writes football history books in his spare time, the first of which was published in 2023.
