I should probably be a little more specific than just sport, because to be honest I don't like all sports. At the top of the page it says I'll touch upon things that I don't like, and here seems as good a place as any to put my dislikes. I don't like croquet, terrible sport. I don't like synchronised swimming, again, a terrible sport.
Well now that we've got that negativity out of the way, let's talk about the sports I do like. Aussie Rules (a.k.a. Aussie Rules), is absolutely one of my favourites, in fact I used to play as young lad. Soccer is also fantastic, and that's a sport I still play to this day. Soccer is probably one of least watched sports though, for me it's always been a sport to play. I'd like to say I'm a superstar, but let's face it, if I were I'd probably be off earning a million dollars somwhere rather than writing this website for you.
Those are two of the best, but I still have a couple to go. Rugby League is probably my most watched sport. Living in NSW it's never hard to come across a game on the TV on a weekend, but I don't like to limit myself to watching it on TV, I love to get out to the ground and watch the games live. I'm a member of the Wests Tigers which means I go to nearly every home game they play. Nothing beats watching the Tigers run around Leichhardt Oval on a Sunday afternoon, it's how all sport should be.
All those sports seem to take place in the Winter. Lucky for me I also love cricket, otherwise there wouldn't be much to do over the summer. I played cricket for many years, but after retiring three times I think I may have finally wielded the willow for the final time, and now just enjoy the professionals doing their stuff.
I mentioned earlier that Wests Tigers were my favourite rugby league team. I'd like to fill you on some of my other favourite teams and players too:
