..I’m recovering from “professional” knee injuries since 2016, progressing well and now aiming to return to pitch in near future.
Fun fact 1: When people ask me to repeat my name in a phone call I always say “Fan, F-A-N, as in ‘football fan’ “. Yet in most cases they still think it is Sam.
Fun fact 2: my favourite club Arsenal and my hometown club Beijing Guo-An(国安) have so much in common:
- Both won quite a few domestic cup titles, not so many league titles, and none continental cup..
- Both from capital cities and owns the best football stadium with no doubt.
- Both rank 1st in the league table alphabetically.
- Arsenal in English can also mean “a place where weapons and military equipments are stored”, whereas Guoan(国安) in Chinese can also mean the Ministry of State Security.
Same! Last time I checked they both ranked 4th place in the league table…
