football firsts

First game you watched live?That would be going back a fair way. I can’t exactly remember the opponents or score, but it was a Crystal Palace match at Selhurst Park in 2001. They drew I think. A few of us got tickets through school, but I was young at the time. It is strange really because I was a Manchester United fan, and played for Charlton and Millwall youth teams, but the first team I saw live was Palace.First football hero?Easily Ruud van Nistelrooy. As a kid growing up, I just loved everything about his game. My dad was a massive Manchester United fan...
