per sport that you followed while you were young
Football:
I vaguely recall watching the France 98 final but can’t remember anything about watching it. Earliest I can properly remember is Man Utd - Juventus in the CL winning season, with the last minute Giggs equaliser. watched with my auntie and uncle who had no interest in football but happily humoured me, played footy with me in the park earlier the same day.
Tennis:
Hingis - Graf French Open final in 1999. think I was at my nana’s. remember Hingis being a brat and I have a false memory of her cheating by hitting the ball through a hole in the net and claiming it went over. Think Agassi won the men’s final the day after, can’t remember who against
Athetics:
Cathy Freeman winning 400m at Sydney 2000 I think. can’t remember anything else about that Olympics. went to the Commonwealth Games in Manchester in 2002
Snooker:
watching a Williams - Hendry match also at my nana’s. might’ve been 1999 World Championship final or might’ve been later, not sure
F1:
Used to watch with my dad and I supported Schumacher cos I liked the colour red. remember him losing a race or maybe the championship to Hakkinen and me crying
