Yoosof's Bio

As we're now in the post-Michael Jackson era, having been here at Bleacher Report for just under a year, to anyone who dislikes MJ, Yoosof says: Beat It. Anyway...

First of all, Yoosof is a 17-year old half-Irish, half-useful Iranian (according to legendary sports journalist Christopher Rowlands) who is currently a student at a delightful sixth-form college/school/thingy in the Republic of Medway, Kent, United Kingdom. He is studying for A-levels in English Literature, Psychology, Spanish, and Physical Education, as well as a Level 2 Community Sports Leader award. He aspires to be a sports journalist in the future.

Yoosof ‘The Destroyer’ (or Henry if you prefer) Farah, or Egginator 3000 as he is known to most, is an avid sports fan who enjoys participating in several sports, such as football, table tennis, table tennis, and of course, table tennis. When not playing for his local football team, Yoosof/The Destroyer/Egginator 3000 can be found at his local table tennis club, where he often likes to participate in activities such as swearing at the umpire who dared to say the ball was out and did not clip the edge of the table (when of course it did).

As well as participating in sport, Yoosof also likes to watch the professionals and see how they do it (although of course we all know Yoosof is the best, better than any other sportsperson in any sport in the world ever). He enjoys watching the beautiful game, but only watches football of the highest quality, hence why he has a season ticket with Gillingham FC. He also enjoys watching high quality table tennis, and follows the mighty Royal Ville Charleroi and their exploits in the Table Tennis European Champions League.

Yoosof joined Bleacher Report because he wanted to show the world his amazing skills in analysis of sporting events (although just between me and you, the real reason was that after seeing an advert on Facebook that demanded he write for B/R, Yoosof was too scared that the words on the advert would jump out of the screen and kill him, so he immediately signed up). On B/R, Yoosof is trying to promote Gillingham FC, and the club which he is currently Community Leader of, Aston Villa. And yes, Yoosof is blissfully unaware that these two sides met on Sunday 4th January 2009, in the FA Cup Third Round (sponsored by E.ON don’t forget) at the KRBS Priestfield Stadium.

Finally, Yoosof is going to scrap the last paragraph from the previous bio (in order to save on words, and tell you some important information). Perhaps his best journalistic achievement to date, Yoosof has had his first ever article published on Fox Sports. Here's the link:

*Talking about yourself in the third person doesn't mean you're mentally retarded, despite talk of the contrary. If you don't believe me, just ask Cristiano Ronaldo.
