About

Founded by Irene Hui, who falls in love with the beautiful game the moment she started watching football. ‘The Twelfth Man’ refers to the fans, anyone who love football. No matter boys or girls, men or women, you are part of the game, you are the twelfth man.

This is not just another football blog, we are determined to show you something different: the football world from a female’s point of view. From Premier League, to La Liga and Hong Kong 1st Division (where the blogger comes from), we talk about all things football, inside out. For those who are interested in the players, culture, languages, people who see football more than a 90 minutes game, this blog is what you want. You might even pick up some Spanish here!

When do we update? We will try to catch up to the latest news as fast as we can. Our aim is to provide something new for you every time you visit Be The Twelfth Man. But…(Oh no!) TGIF. Yes, Friday. Friday is for us to get as much sleep as possible to prepare for the hectic weekend. If there is any international match on Friday, we work seven days a week. Yes, that is how much we love our teams.

In order to reach out to a wider range of readers, we have a Chinese blog too. No worries, contents are identical!
