About

Akshaj Dwivedula

I've been a fan of the 49ers ever since Kyle Williams fumbled that punt, ironically. Since then, I've been following the team constantly, through the good and the bad.

John Porter

John Porter is a Site Contributor to Niner Noise. John is born and raised in the UK, currently residing in the music capital, Manchester, and has been a 49er fan since 2005, rarely missing a single game despite the ridiculous time difference. He has twice visited San Francisco, in 2015 and 2017, with the 49ers achieving a 1-1 record in these games. Fortunately, they won the first one, and that's a beautiful memory, and also his claim to fame - he saw Blaine Gabbert win a game as a starting quarterback! John is two years into his writing career, and writes in various places on sports and music, but is most happy when discussing his beloved Niners!
