great Zidane tidbit

here is something I ran across while browsing the section on Zidane in Wikipedia today. Its one of the reason I love wikipedia (apart from being a tremendous accurate and up-to-date resource), one can find all sorts of obscure tid-bits and facts that are posted by individuals, that would otherwise be very difficult to come across.

 In 1995 Zinedine Zidane may have become another high profile signing for Blackburn Rovers during the Jack Walker era. Kenny Dalglish had wanted to sign both Zidane and Christophe Dugarry who were playing in France for FC Girondins de Bordeaux, however Walker reportedly said to Dalglish: “Why do you want to sign Zidane when we have Tim Sherwood?”

HAHA. What a great quote.
Anyway, on a side matter, I noticed this blog has passed over a 1000 hits. Yay. I use these posts more as a reference for me to look back on later, to see what my thoughts were on various issues. But its great that I’ve been getting a lot of traffic also, which has been one of my goals as well. The truth is, for a blog to really succeed, it needs to have many subscribers (people who read a particular blog on a regular basis, generally keeping up with new posts via RSS feeds). To get many subscribers, its important to have an area of focus. For example, web 2.0, soccer, travel, OR food. As you can see, however, I have chosen to combine all these areas, and others, in my blog. This is an important reason as to why this blog is unlikely to be widely read, because the chance of many other individuals also being intrested in soccer, internet technologies, audiobooks, healthy cooking, travel…etc as I am, is very low. Nonetheless, these are areas I am intrested in, and I’ve decided to let this blog reflect me as an individual, more than any particular topic. Having said that, I do make sure to tag my posts well, so I can get bursts of traffic relating to individual posts.
