Whether he's watching a match, cheering from the sidelines or debating a questionable refereeing decision, football provides a welcome distraction from the world of cardiology.

Much of his spare time is spent running around after his four children, helping his wife juggling their busy schedules, ferrying them between activities and attempting to keep up with their seemingly endless energy. He often jokes that keeping up with his children provides a better cardiovascular workout than any session at the gym!
