Meeting Shunsuke Nakamura
In the summer of 2005 Glasgow Celtic signed their first Japanese player, Shunsuke Nakamura. By coincidence I was the only member of the Tokyo Celtic Supporters Club in Glasgow at the time, and got to make a presentation on behalf of the CSC to the player at Celtic Park. Shunsuke Nakamura was very kind and seemed to be a down-to-earth guy. I was honoured to meet him, but to be honest getting to walk down the players' tunnel and stand on the pitch was more thrilling for me. This is a stadium my Dad took me to as a boy. I never thought I would one day be able to stand on the pitch with my own children. That summer I was able to fulfill a childhood dream.
