Sam

Sam, the youngest buck of the Offside family at a mere sixteen years of age, writes for (duh) the Toronto FC Offside since early February 2007, and the France Offside since October 2006. In an interview he granted to himself, he said that “The Offside is a cool site. There’s the regular bickering about this club and that club of course, but there’s also a feeling of footballistic anarcho-primitivism that everyone shares, and it’s fun that we all agree that multi-million dollar this and corporate endorsment that are no fun. Blooper videos and poking fun at David Beckham, however, is.”

Other than blogging, Sam enjoys being an Alberta Soccer Association Class 4 Referee (oh yeah), playing with his punk-rock band The Afflictions, quoting A Clockwork Orange and The Exorcist, loafing aimlessly around the house, knowing world capitals (Uzbekistan? Tachkent.) and making delicious smoothies.

He supports Toronto FC (duh) and knows how glorious the day will be when Jim Brennan hoists the MLS Cup high above his head and everyone will refer to Mo Johnston’s club as “The new ManU, Real Madrid and AC Milan combined”.
