This legend was the first person to take me to see my first ever game of pro football way back when - New Zealand Knights v Sydney FC in 2005.
Picked me up all the way over in East Auckland to take me out to Albany, and then back home again, I have no clue where he lived at the time, but it definitely wasn't in Auckland!
I don't actually remember too much about the game either (apart from losing), but I remember the singing, the chanting, the swearing and the laughs, and I was hooked.
Safe to say that night a seed was planted that helped me grow my love of the game. A time in my life when football was pretty low on the list of priorities otherwise.
Love to the family and all those who knew him.
Rest easy David, and thank you. 💛🖤
