Football
Gosh, where the heck do I start with this one? Football has been such a huge, huge part of my life for as long as I can remember: from a kickabout in the back garden in the late 60s to attending World Cups in the 21st century with an awful lot of other stuff in between. The one constant throughout all of this has been supporting Hull City and, whilst there have been plenty of times when it has felt more like a chore than a pleasure, there have also been moments of complete and utter joy and excitement, all shared in the company of really great friends and family.
I was a nifty little player as a lad, was not deterred by a cartliage operation before I was 10 and played regularly again as a student. But, it seems, my true vocation is as a fan. For my interest, my participation and my passion for the game I need to say this; Thanks, Dad.
It was always wise to play downhill, defending The Shed end, at Uncle Jack's. Sweet left foot.
