Favorite Player	:	My parents were born in Glasgow, so I have a soft spot for Jimmy Johnstone, the creative force behind the great Celtic teams of the late ’60s and early ’70s. He was only 5-foot-4, but he was a terrific dribbler and passer.
Favorite Team	:	Brazil’s national team of 1982. Unlike other Brazilian teams, they did not win the World Cup, but they were far more entertaining.  Socrates, Zico, Falcao, Junior and Cerezo were all great, great players.  Watch the highlight packages of this team (Go to YouTube and search for "brasil 1982").
Favorite Quote	:	"You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal.  Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you." -- Maya Angelou
Personal Note	:	In 1976, I played for an NYSA All-Star team in the Kingdome before a Sounders game.
