Well no one can really tell whether this happened by coincidence or was it written all along. The only thing in common is that I loved watching football at the backside of the net.

It was school days and I used to play cricket and not football. Nothing was bad about it unless the day came when my father saw me playing alone in mid-day around 2.00 pm all alone which was not appropriate according to him.

So, in order to get me rid of this habit he bought me games to play on PS1 (Sony Play Station 1 borrowed from my friend) and the first game I played was Spider-Man but he brought another game and that was FIFA 1998. Well that my friend was my turning point in life. He told me to play at home and practice after 04.00 pm in the evening which was fine for me.

I used to play cricket so didn’t knew much about football so just tried to play but nothing went on my head so I started watching videos on YouTube but very few videos were there that time. I started reading manuals for controls and how they are matched because I’ve been playing on Nintendo and Sega before so it was not new but new.

That was how I came know about football ⚽️
