The Importance of Football

As early as possible, Max attached himself to that round thing. I couldn't really watch the TV, you know, I couldn't watch the TV past a certain time. Watching football or trying to walk football through the crack in a door in the front room was my earliest experience. Brazil influenced me because of the 1970 World Cup. Support was Tottenham Hotspur at the time. Glenn Hoddle just became synonymous with who I wanted to be and that's where it all stemmed from.
