| Footy - The 10th ART |
| I started watching football when I was 9 on the distant year of 1986.The world cup was being held in Mexico, and the 1st game that I really followed, felt was Portugal 1 England 0! It was a historical match, I guess nobody (neither us) we're expecting to beat England after a poor preparation.But we won with a goal from Carlos Manuel. The next games I accompained with the same enthusiasm unfortunately we lost to Poland and Morocco.Nevertheless I had found a new interest in my life! And from then on, I never stopped to love Football! That was my 1st telly game, but my 1st ever real-life-live! game was Maritimo 1 Farense 0 at Stadium of Barreiros, for the national championship season 1986-87.What I record from that match: much heat, Paco Fortes (then as a player was sent-off) and the goal was scored by then "star"-striker Paquito who came from FC Porto... |
