I used to be mad on football, as a boy growing up it's all I ever played, and the highlight of my week was my dad letting me stay up late on a Saturday so I could watch MOTD (when Jimmy Hill presented it).
I was a mad Man Utd fan until a couple of years ago, and used to go to Old Trafford a couple of times a season. Seen some great games, including the 5-1 thrashing of Arsenal in 2001, and some great Champions League ties.
Over the last few years I have gradually lost interest and haven't watched MOTD or the Champions League for a couple of years.
I feel that Sky TV and pay to view has ruined football, along with the overly inflated salaries paid to average players with very large ego's. The influx of foreign billionairres buying clubs and foreign mercenaries playing here without a care for the clubs they serve has been the final nail in the coffin for me.
