| SUPPORTER SPOTLIGHT Chin  Our next Supporter Spotlight falls upon Indian born Chin, who tells us why he is a mummy’s boy, why he has a physique like former Red Steve Macca and why, despite being a student, he spends most of his time on our Forum! A+ Chinny!"Chin" - that’s a strange name. Is it a nickname? Or did you call yourself that after being drunk? It’s a part-nickname that has stuck with me from when I was young I suppose. It’s only half (approximately, for all you maths freaks) my real first name. For the supporters, tell us more about your background? I was born in India, moved to Hong Kong when I was about 8 (once before that as well) and have stayed here since. How did you find out about the OLSC Hong Kong? The all knowing entity: Google. What do you like about the Supporters' Club? They’re a close knit bunch. Anyone else in your family a Red? How did you come to support Liverpool? Dad used to watch Leeds, although not since they’ve been relegated, and mum’s not into footie. No “boyhood Red/atmosphere drew me in” clichés I’m afraid. I was lured in the days of watching Fowler and a then-young Michael Owen on the box, back when I was just starting to get into football and needed a half decent player/idol - and hence team - to cling on to. Got any nicknames? "Double chin" perhaps? Chinny-Chin-Chin. Chinny. Moy (the other 3 letters of my first name). No one’s called me "double chin" - yet! Any hobbies? Football - that about covers it! Do you study or work? I’d be lying if I said either. Let’s just say I’m on the PolyU register and I occasionally attend something they call 'classes'. You’re a regular on our Forum. You seem to be pretty witty on there with your comments. Do you enjoy posting views? Certainly, and it beats studying. I post/browse on several other LFC forums as well, including ynwa.tv and RAWK - my reliable sauces! What’s the best thing about playing for the HK Reds football team? Everyone else’s endurance is just as bad (exception made for Jase Li); makes me stand out less! You remind us of a former Liverpool player because of your physique. Can you name him? (He’s got shaggy hair...) Shaggy? Steve Macca? A friend said Kev Keegan though...who’s right? What are your strengths and weaknesses as a player? I have incredibly bad endurance and am the worst finisher you’re likely to see, but I’d like to think my passing is decent. The players can probably shed more light on that. Liverpool FC Favourite Liverpool goal? Gerrard versus Olympiakos or Mellor versus Arsenal. Can’t split them. Heroes? Gerrard. I’ve stopped having ‘favourite players’ cos I’m a curse - everyone I idolise seems to leave or want to leave (Fowler, Owen, Baros, Gerrard, Garcia). How many of the Liverpool songs can you sing? Which is the best? A fair bit of the ‘core’ stuff, not so many new ones. Scouser Tommy I like the most, but you don’t want to hear me sing it! Ugliest player? Dirk Kuyt (sorry Ian M). What will Liverpool win this season? The Treble. Trust me. Do you think the American owners should be sacked? Yes, but who will sack the owners? Rafa or Jurgen? Rafa. Jurgen up front though. Rafa’s ball control is atrocious. The Important Stuff Your favourite car? Mercedes Benz CLS-500. I’m accepting donations by the way. What’s your favourite TV show? Blackadder. Closely followed by Only Fools and Horses. The last film you saw at the cinema with a hot girl? SAW 2, oddly enough - the stuff romance is made of. Noodles or spaghetti? Noodles. Lasagna over both though. What’s your tipple? And when was the last time you were exceedingly drunk? Carlsberg. It helps LFC right...RIGHT? Last time I was drunk was, of course, New Year’s Eve hanging out at RED Bar. Unfortunately, I had to spend half the night taking care of my even-drunker friend. Too drunk to know I was too drunk to take care of a drunk? Perhaps! Favourite holiday destination? Bali or Kinabalu - anywhere with exotic beaches, delicious food and nice people. If you were stuck in a lift with one another person, who would it be? My mum. Always takes good care of me. Who would win in a fight between Ken Abela and Ian McAlan ? How many rounds do you think it would go? Who would cry like a girl? Think Ian is now the permanent holder of the Wally Wallet award, so he’d be the one most likely to cry like a girl. Ken would settle down into his rhythm and be in the lead before both would whine about the unbearable heat and humidity after 30 seconds. Result: Draw. A fight would then ensue over who withdrew first, and repeat cycle. What do you like about Hong Kong? The city buzz and greenery entwined, and the fact that there’s never a dull moment. Jesscia Alba or J-Lo? Neither - Megan Fox. Does anyone know if she likes the SAW series...? |
