Welcome!   Soccer (football) has always been my favourite sport and I've collected a lot of stuff that I think you'll be interested in.   So, please take a look around my page and enjoy yourself.   I add new material regularly to keep my site fresh, so check back often!    Long live the World Game!!!!!!!

My name is Richard Baker and I'm 55 years young, divorced (unfortunately not my choice) with four wonderful children (3 still living with me).   I still play and coach in an Over 35's team for a local club side in the Granville Association which is located in an area of Sydney Australia.   I am also an active Referee in the local area (Granville) and at State  Federation level.   I used to play as a goal keeper but retired early due to injury and now play on the field.   I enjoy coaching juniors and have many years of experience in football which I am happy to share with anyone.

My favourite team is Manchester United who I have supported since I was eight years old.   The bearded referee below is me.   Scary isn't it?

There are many Manchester United fans in Australia and all over the World.   The World's favourite team is like that.   It would be great if they could come here more often.

Life outside can be difficult.  Life within can be the way you want it to be, but life without YOU is no life at all ....... Richard.
