    Hi everyone,

    My name's Tom Williams and I'm a journalist from the AFP news agency.

    I'm writing a book - a global football glossary - which is due for publication next year and I'm using the Big Soccer forums during my research.

    I'm currently looking for words or phrases that are either unique to or particularly popular in New Zealand. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    It's a difficult task, since so much of New Zealand's football vocabulary is shared with the UK and Australia, but I'd love to include some Kiwi terminology in the book if I can.

    Any contributions will be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks,

    Tom

    Hi, Tom. The best place to look for it is https://www.yellowfever.co.nz/forum as lots of people write there (Big Pete 65 could be best person to contact there) while there are one or two Kiwis writing here, sporadically.
