First football experience was Mexico '86 but NOT LIVE. Had to go off to bed early in those days so recordings of games the next day. Maradona was the talk of town and the world.
Got to know Enzo Schifo, Michel Platini and Gary Lineker.
The real LIVE football experience came in Euro '88. Saw Marco Van Basten the deal was sealed! Followed him to Milan and no turning back since that summer!
Used to support Brasil right till USA '94. Careca was one of the reasons for that. Italia used to be number 2. Baggio's performance in the latter stages of that cup made my heart beat faster and Italy notched Brasil to number 1 AFTER that cup. Italia is numero uno since then with Argentina taking second spot and Germany taking third.
Followed Michael Schumacher since 1993. That flashy Joran with a strange nose cone in those days caught me and the first race I saw was the Monaco Grand Prix if I remember correctly. Schumacher had a decent drive and I really became his fanatical fan when the FIA started to force the issue in 1994 by trying their best to prevent a German win the F-1 World Championship. Ten years on and he is the GREATEST although Ilgenio will disagree with me.
2. Movies
I like all sorts of movies. Science Fiction usually troubles me as I don't always like them. I spent my initial years on the internet day and night researching home theatre and thereby know quite a bit of that stuff as it is also a hobby of mine. I have set up a high end home theatre in my home which makes the movie experience all the more better.
I collect movies as well. Have a big VHS collection, few Laser Discs and 70 odd DVDs.

- John McTiernan
- Martin Campbell
- Oliver Stone
- Ridley Scott
- Jan De Bont
