After a long and distinguished period as a football player, my favourite sports are now squash and golf.  My interests include keeping up with technology and reading general factual information.  I speak Arabic and German at colloquial level.  I also enjoy hill walking and treks with my family and also find the time to develop my IT knowledge through study in my spare time.
