Meeting Baichung Bhutia

I am not at all into sports and therefore know of a very few sportsmen. Baichung Buita is one of those few sports personalities that I happen to know of. He's the only Indian football player to have played English League football. Recently, by a pleasant surprise got to know that Baichung Bhutia happens to be a close friend of a good friend of mine! Hence, when Baichung was here in Bangalore this week, I was duly introduced to him and we went partying at The Spinn. Baichung is a real neat, down-to-earth guy, and meeting him was real fun.

Update: Dec 04, 2111hrs: Read a real funny yet true(!) account of my meeting Baichung at Reem's. Reem: We both need to be educated on sports, but you certainly need it more than I do! :)

Talking about footballers, here's a trivia quiz question I picked up from a quiz forum:
Which footballer, when asked whether he would prefer sleeping with a Ms World or dribbling the ball past 5 defenders and dodging the goalkeeper to score a goal, chose the latter. He, however, ended up doing both. Name him.

Answer: ---> George Best <---
