As a boy, I grew up idolizing Eric Cantona of Manchester United. "Monsieur  Genius" , the talismanic french men was my hero back then. The number 7 jersey he wore left a deep mark in me. His charisma on the field is still printed in the depths of my heart. Anyone whom has lived to see him play will know what I mean. To me, he is still the greatest all-time playmaker that has ever played for United.

    Unfortunately as a child, I was deprived of all opportunities to pursue sports as a hobby. I was a hyper active child back then. Yet the conditions were always wrong at that time. I prayed back then that one day I will get to play for Manchester United. Some kind of a dream… come to think back, it was kind of kiddy.

    Somehow GOD has answered that prayer. Not in the way I expected though. I now pursue my childhood dream in a different way.

    Today I proudly wear the No.7 jersey for Frontliners Floorball Club. And our jersey almost resembles the old Manchester United Umbro Jersey that Cantona once wore. I enjoy my role and my game is maturing week by week. Under the guidance of several good leaders, coaches and team mates, I am making progress in the game of floorball. I will most probably never get to play floorball professionally due to my age. But at least I get a glimpse of tasting what professional sports is all about. For that I am thankful.

    God works in mysterious ways. Who can fathom the works of HIS hands. Never ever crossed my mind that this is happening as a child. What a dream.
