Wow I was sure I had posted in this thread, but I guess I hadn't so here goes:
I'm 27, will be 28 next month, and from Mumbai (Bombay) in India. Family is not into football at all because the ONLY sport in India is cricket. Moved to Saudi Arabia soon after I was born as my dad worked there. Lived there for 15 years and moved back to India. FInished high school there and went on to get my Bachelor's degree in Instrumentation Engineering. Moved to the states (Ohio) to get my Master's degree, and lived there for a year. Moved to Canada and finished my Master's there as the university was willing to fund my education there (and I was dating a Canadian girl at the time). I now work for an engineering consulting firm in Canada as an Instrumentation and Controls Engineer. Work mostly on power plant projects.
Caught the Leeds drug when I was around 10 years old and watched the English football show every weekend in Saudi Arabia. Watched this team in white play a team in red (Liverpool) and secured a hard-fought draw. Never took notice of the other team. It was Leeds all the way in that game and ever since then. It was hard to keep up with the game back then, but it became easier when I moved back to India. So the first manager I remember properly was David O'Leary. Made the 'pilgrimage' to ER in 2003 was the season opener against Man City and we won 3-0. Goals scored by Viduka, Barmby and Keane. Venables' first game in charge. I will always be grateful that I got to watch the Chief put in a rock solid performance and he was named MOTM too.
Other highlights I remember include the 3-2 win at Highbury to stay up, beating scum last season and ofcourse the Bristol Rovers game.
Hobbies: Football, Cricket, Movies, Music, Technology, Food, Travel (Ive been to Saudi Arabia, India, England, SIngapore, USA, Canada, Hong Kong and Turkey so far).
Sports teams I support (in order of how fanatical I am about them): Team India (Cricket), LUFC, Saskatchewan Roughriders (CFL team), Boston Bruins, New England Patriots
I currently live with the love of my life (different Canadian girl than the one I mentioned earlier). We have been together 3 years and keep this on the down low, but I plan to ask her to marry me very soon.
