My article that was published in Viz (2001)

I wrote this!



I originally wrote HansenChat sometime back in 2000 and posted it on my website, as an ironic tribute to the former Liverpool defender turned BBC couch-warmer.

A few months afterwards, the Viz editors spotted it on my website and contacted me offering to publish it. Being a massive Viz fan I was mightily pleased, and they sent me a contract in the post and a fifty pound cheque.

This was the first (and last) time something I wrote appeared in print. My one fleeting moment of glory in the national press.
