My favorite club is Manchester United.
I'll tell you the story of how I starting following Man Utd. I think it was 1998 when I first saw a football match. From what I remember, it didn't involve Utd. Before that match, the only sport I used to follow was cricket (because that was the trend - me being an 8 year old at that time and an Indian). Now I cannot say my love affair with football was a love at first sight, but yes, it fascinated me because of its pace, excitement and after playing for a while myself casually, the level of exhilaration and joy one feels after scoring a goal. During that time, there was a lot of craze about David Beckham and I used to wonder what all that was about. With time, I actually started appreciating the game. At first it was just the thrill and celebrations and excitement. I remember watching the likes of Beckham and Giggs and at their very best. I distinctly remember the unforgettable magic that happened at Camp Nou in 1999, I remember 'that' Schmeichel cartwheel. And, I always regret not being able to watch the likes of Cantona live.
