Welcome to ND Soccer Capital!

Who am I?

My name is Neil Doherty, and I am a football enthusiast with a passion for collecting that spans nearly four decades.

Football isn’t just my passion, it’s my obsession. I have explored the game’s history, tactics, and culture, sharing insights as an author and interviewer—drawing on conversations with legends, journalists, and fans. I am a twice-published football author: World Cup 1998: Scotland’s Story (independent, 2021) and We’re Going To Wembley: Scotland’s Euro ‘96 Journey (Pitch Publishing, 2024). Self-publishing launched my entrepreneurial journey—editing, cover design, book formatting, and more. Since 1985, I have collected vintage Panini stickers. Now, I’m hooked on football cards and publish the ND Soccer Capital newsletter on Beehiiv.

Founder of Knuckloop™ powering Kardloop™: a software tool providing real-time insights for trading card collectors, traders, and breakers.
