My lucky day~

I would never forget tonite's extraordinary experience.

Tonite I went to Sydney Aussie Stadium to watch A-league open match - Sydney FC vs Central Coast Mariners. Quite a lot of excitments in the 2nd half, and glad that Dwight Yorke's team has won 1-0. There's nothing to relate with the match actually. Anyway this is only a short intro for the coming memoriable moment.

After the match, I came to the place where the players would come out from the stadium, tried to wait for Yorke or other players and get their names signed on the programme. Since I came quite early, therefore I could stand quite near to the stadium main entrance (where players and coaches come out).

Several minutes gone (should be at least half an hour) some players has come out, and luckily I could get a Tony Vidmar, a famous Socceroos's signature on my programme. But that's not my only desire. I aim for something much excited.

Another minutes gone and there were still a couple of people waiting for Dwight Yorke to come out. Suddenly a man in my front asked me to land him the marker for signing. Surely I would please to do so. And this is the most important moment. The man later returned the marker to me, and told me that the children in my front are also waiting for Dwight also. Andn he said to me that I could follow them. At first I did not know what he meant, later I was suprised.

The children are being told to come into the lounge (which supposed to be players, coaches and VIPs only) through the entrance. And they pulled me inside either! What a suprise! (Later I asked them and knew they knew someone who is working in Sydney FC) The moment I stepped into the lounge room, Yorke was already there. Of course I won't miss any seconds - pulled out my prepared jersey and let him signed. The children did the same thing either. Then I asked Yorke to take a photo with me. He was so nice that I could not believe (He should be a "playboy", rite?). And we chatted for a few seconds, mainly about the match.

I never think I could have met a player. I never think I could get signed from a player of my favourite club. I even could not believe that i could take a picture and chatted with him. That's really awesome. Some of you may think it's only a picture and signed jersey only, not so shocked indeed. But for me, having met a player of my favourite clubs (Yes, you guess it right - Sydney FC and Mancheseter United) and get giggled was something I would never dream of. It's really my luckly day

Sorry for such a long English-typed essay.

When i saw him, he has already changed all the clothes, and the jerseys should be "transported" by the coaches already

23.5 AUD (Student price), around HKD130

the seat is in the middle of the field, facing the player's tunnel. And it is in J row (A row = next to the field). So you can guess how great my seat was.
