It was 25th of May, 2005. Like a Couch-Potato I was browsing through the TV channels, but couldn't find anything to watch. I landed on a sports channel showing a football match between AC Milan and Liverpool. I had watched the football world cup, but club level football had never really occupied me before. But that serendipitous incident has changed my life forever - for I have been an avid follower of the English Premier League (EPL) since.
The game I witnessed is according to me, one of the best football games ever. The way Liverpool fought back in the second half (after being 0-3 down) was exhilarating to watch. I didn't know about Steven Gerrard before the match, but the way Gerrard marshaled his troops - he became my favorite footballer immediately (and has remained so). I often wonder how people start supporting the clubs they support. For some its because of the club's reputation, some just start by backing their friend's favorite club - for me it was a moment of sheer magic.
You shall never walk alone.
