Great read! I have ruptured my fronterior cruciate ligaments in my left knee when I was 23, in the last pre-season game. Since then, and 3 years of suffering and operations, I only played on lower level, but still manage to love the game and the atmosphere. Sad, but it just happens to some of us.
I have a love for sports marketing myself, and am sometimes frustrated how badly it is managed by some clubs in Belgium. Including my own favourite team, Cercle Bruges.
Great to get to know you! We will see eachother around here a lot, if you ask me!
