I was always the last one chosen for football games in Central Park.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I love Central Park. I feel like I am somewhere else.
I love Major League Soccer, covered the first game in 1996 in a funky stadium in San Jose, and I applaud just about every move that its commissioners, Garber and Doug Logan, have made.
The decisions I've made have not always been the most popular, but when I look back, I want to know I've played for good football teams.
Everyday I walked on to the field I was the best center.
Prior to high school, I played a lot of neighborhood football.
I went to North Carolina to play football.
I grew up on Avenue C, and Tompkins Square Park was my park. That was where I played ball every day. I lived in that park.
When I came down south, I went to one of the early Wigan Challenge Cup victories at Wembley, and I was totally hooked from then.
It was a very exciting time for me to play professional football, finally.
I love Central Park. I spend a lot of time in there. I try and get in there whenever I can.
