3 FAVOURITE SPORTS OTHER THAN FOOTBALL
in any order.
Speedway: absoloutely love the sport for the danger and excitement.
Cricket: played for my schools and like all forms county, test and limited overs.
Rugby (Union & League) admire the toughness and comorade of the players.
Realised long ago that i like to follow team sports as against individual probably that you back each other to try to achieve a positive result.
My three teams for each sport in order are Hackney Hawks, Surrey C.C.C. and Saracens.
Should add that i am also a big fan of Horse Racing.

Re: 3 FAVOURITE SPORTS OTHER THAN FOOTBALL
Football is not even in my top 10 favourite sports. I find the older I get the more I hate it, mainly due to the premier league and sky. I still enjoy playing. There is a big difference between having the misfortune to support Leyton Orient and liking football.
Boxing. Far and away my favourite sport. Big fight nights are electric.
Cycling. although really the Tour de France. Sit there for 2 weeks every year and enjoy every moment. The scenery, incredible athletes.
Rugby league. Avid watcher. Love the NRL.
I also enjoy the American sports except basketball. Love the UFC.
I can watch just about every sport. Honourable exceptions, gymnastics, ice dancing, the swimming one with the frilly hats. Find cricket and golf pretty boring as well.

Baseball - Fell in love with it, and the (Devil) Rays (a team much like Orient back then) in 2006 and watch highlights of all 162 games (not this year) and about 80 full games.
Cricket - Was in love with it when i was 7 to about 12. Played for the mens Havering teams a couple of times at about 10 (more that they didnt have many players than i was any good) and a trial at Essex which I f*cked up completely. And then barely watched it for 20 years. Have been getting back into it a bit these days.
Darts - only other thing i can think of thats genuinely exciting.

1 motocross, takes me back to my racing days. 2. Darts, tension and excitement. 3. Cricket, something on the world stage that we are genuinely good at.

Re: 3 FAVOURITE SPORTS OTHER THAN FOOTBALL
Hurling- probably my favourite sport along with football. Sadly CoVid 19 ruined my trip to Limerick & Cork earlier this month. Have to watch it live, loses a lot on TV. This is the greatest game I ever saw live in any sport
skip first hour if you are short of time, last 20 minutes are incredible.
Tennis - been fortunate to have three great players in recent years and luck to see Federer v Djokovic live in a Wimbledon final. Again close up, the power and athleticism of the top players is awesome.
Third sport for playing would be Badminton or Volleyball, but as a spectator, Rugby Union. Grand Slam 2018 at Twickenham on St. Patrick’s Day was one of the greatest moments I have experienced as a spectator.
