Simon "Sid" Lowe (born 21 June 1976) is a British columnist and journalist. Born in Archway, London, and based in Madrid, he covers Spanish football for many publications, websites, television channels, radio stations, and football-related podcasts across the world.

Journalism

Lowe has been writing for The Guardian newspaper and guardian.co.uk website since 2001. He regularly appears (via phone or Skype) on The Guardian's football podcast Football Weekly where he gives updates on the latest news in La Liga, the top division of Spanish football. He conducts a series of relatively lighthearted interviews for an interview series known as "Small Talk" for The Guardian, with Spain-based and Spanish players. Some recurrent questions in the "Small Talk" interview series include: "What was the last CD you bought?", "What was the last book you read?" and "Who would win a fight between a lion and a tiger?"

He is TalkSPORT's reporter in Spain who brings regular reports to the Hawksbee and Jacobs show, as well the Drive Time show with Darren Gough and Adrian Durham. He works as a football commentator and panelist for Spanish, Asian and US television, and appears on the TV channel of Real Madrid C.F.. Lowe can also be heard regularly on the US-based soccer podcast Beyond the Pitch where he gives regular La Liga updates several times a month.
