Representation Of Me

After looking on UK Tribes I have decided that I am a mix of sports junkie and a townie, as I love playing sport and try to do this as much as I can. I have many idols that I look up to such as; David Beckham, Steven Gerard and Gary Cahill. Also I always are interested to watch as much sport as I can such as golf, football and rugby, also I love watching transfer deadline day as I like to keep up to date with all what is happening.  Also all the idols I have chosen are because they have represented their countries and I would love to do this too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also I am a townie as I always go to the high street shops such as River Island and Top Shop to by my clothes, also I love going out with my mates and having a laugh and a good time with everyone. I like all types of music as each genre of music as they all appeal to me. I shop at all these shops as they are good designer brands but are cheap too.
