FULL NAME:
Martin Stigaard Sørensen
AGE:
22
DATE OF BIRTH:
23rd of November 1976
PLACE OF BIRTH
Aalborg
WHERE I CURRENTLY LIVE
Nørresundby
WHERE DO I WORK
Inbetween football and studying, I also work at Sonofon - the Danish cellular-phone company
FUTURE PLANS:
Well, I'm currently on the 4th semester of the 3/5-year English-course at the university in Aalborg.
On my 5th semester I'll be going to The University of Oregon and I'm REALLY looking forward to it (even if it means missing out on AaB's matches in Europe).
Also, I now live closer to Aalborg Stadion than ever
before :-)
FAVOURITE FOOTBALL TEAMS:
Apart from AaB, other football clubs
I like/support are: Manchester United, the Double-Champions of England (but what the hell is going on with that Rupert Murdoch deal???). Wrexham FC, a kewl Welsh team in the British second division - I've seen them in action twice when I was in Wales and I've followed them ever since.
AaB SUPPORT-CLUB MEMBERSHIP NUMBER:
165
Topstriker Søren Andersen and me
DANISH STADIUMS I'VE BEEN TO
Aalborg Stadion (duh!), Viborg Stadion (make that Viborg Field), Silkeborg Stadion (has been improved, but certainly not for the visiting fans who are stranded far away from the pitch),
Ikast Stadion (Jump as much as you want,nothing can break here
since you're jumping on pure soil), Aarhus Stadion (Aah,
it's always good fun going here, because there's always a
great atmoshphere and loads of people - but the away fans are now in the worst place of the stadium) Vejle Stadion (not too
bad I must admit, but I liked it better when the travelling
fans had a roof to stand under), Odense Stadion (I went to the old one, but the new stadium is SO much better, it is exaclty the size that would fit AaB very well), Parken (The BIG one, not so much going on here at club-matches, but excellent at national games), Brøndby Stadion (10 out of 10 on the intensity-meter, always good fun, if nothing else then for the atmosphere)
FAVOURITE MAGAZINE
The English fan-magazine Total Football
(for whom I wrote an article for EURO96!!)
FAVOURITE MUSIC:
I'm into loadsa different music (my cd-collection now has more than 225 entries!), but among my big favourites are Oasis and R.E.M.
Music
Here's what's currently in my cd-player:
Sheryl Crow - The Globe Sessions
Hole - Celebrity Skin
Counting Crows - Across A Wire
Blur - 13
Everclear - So Much For The Afterglow
R.E.M. - Up
Seeing as we're now in 1999 and everyone's going Y2K-crazy, I thought I'd give my view on the other thing I'm really into: music. So here is my idea of what the top ten most influential albums of the 90's have been (in no particular order)
Top ten albums of the 90's
Oasis - (What's The Story) Morning Glory
U2 - Actung Baby
Blur - Parklife
Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill
R.E.M. - Automatic For The People
R.E.M. - Up
Nirvana - Nevermind
Sheryl Crow - Tuesday Night Music Club
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness
Counting Crows - August and Everything After
FAVOURITE TV-SHOWS:
Anything with football, and besides all the sport I think,
Seinfeld
and Southpark are undoubtedly the funniest
shows on earth. Friends is also great fun
FAVOURITE COMPUTERGAMES:
I loooove football-games, especially Championship
Manager 2 (CM3's here - gonna get it soon) and sportsgames in general, like NHL 98, World Cup 98 and the FIFA-games series.
FAVOURITE FOOD:
Anything with spaghetti or pasta, but the best has to be pizza
FAVOURITE SOFT-DRINK:
The one and only: Coca-Cola.
I recommend anyone who gets the chance to see the World of Coca-Cola museum in Atlanta - GA in the US - it's definitely worth it if you're fan
FAVOURITE BEER:
Carlsberg!
FAVOURITE US-SPORTS TEAMS:
Charlotte Hornets (NBA),
Pittsburgh Penguins (NHL), Atlanta Falcons (NFL)(I'm SOOOO sorry the Dirty Birds didn't win Superbowl XXXIII - but the Falcons WILL fly high again next season!!) and Montreal Expos (MLB)
FAVOURITE MOVIE:
Without a doubt it has to be "Scream" and "Scream 2", but I also like the
"Back To The Future" trilogy and "The Untouchables"
