Except for two years in Stuttgart, I have always worn the FCB jersey.
My first club was FT Gern. I joined through my parents and friends. My father played for them and a friend from nursery school took me to training once. I was five at the time.
Anyone who's kicked a ball with their mates and played for their local club knows the buzz of being part of a team, playing without fear or pressure.
I rode for Maindy Flyers, a local kids' club from Cardiff. We started travelling across the country doing races, but Manchester was the first stage race I did.
I started playing at my local estate club. I used to wake up every morning to go to play in the club. I loved it so much, it brought a lot of wonderful things in my life.
I was eight years old and I was playing rugby for my local club.
I'm an avid bridge player. I usually go to the local bridge club three or four times a week. I've always been a game-player, and I think bridge is one of the greatest games ever invented. It's too bad that not many young people play it any more.
The first pitch I played on, for my first club, Braine-le-Comte, was only a metre from our house! I progressed very quickly.
We used to live five minutes from the local cricket club in High Wycombe. My brother Kaush, who is seven years older, played there.
I phoned the local ramblers club today and this bloke just went on and on.
I grew up there and played all the youth teams at Borussia.
I passed my Lawn Tennis Association coaching exam, and I persuaded my local club to let me use a court after school and on Saturdays.
My dad played football - and tennis as well - and so did my brothers. My dad was chairman of our local club, Spartans, for a while. But back when I was a boy, people didn't think of football as a career.
