Safiyya Patel is our first Babe of the Week for being an influential member of the World Sport Bloopers community and for looking great in a football shirt!
We had the pleasure of interviewing her recently:
What is your favourite sport?
I love all sport and could easily out talk to any dude about any sport, golf included :)
However my favourite would have to be a tie between Football (soccer) and F1
Favourite team?
Ye ol' Newton Heath - Manchester United, have been for 20 years will be for the next 20
PSL team (South African League) Orlando Pirates
F1 - Scuderia Ferrari
Favourite Sporting Moments?
- Tshabalala's opening goal at the 2010 World Cup opening game against Mexico. As a South African the emotion was just overwhleming
- Then of course, 1999, me in the fetal position in a room full of Spurs fans, the score 1-0 to Bayern Munich, 90 minutes already played at the Camp Nou. Beckham swings in the corner, Schmiechel misses the ball, Dwight Yorke knocks it back in, Giggs hits a weak snap shot but oh Saviour Sheringham sent it to the bottom corner of the net. We all know what happened next, thanks to the 'Baby-Faced Assassin'. There are no words to describe what I felt after that. I had a smile for an entire year :)
Favourite Bloopers?
- Not sure if it's a blooper but Zidane's head butt in the 2006 final against Italy. It was weird watching because it was Zidane, the 'King of Cool' losing his cool.
- Anything that Howard Webb does is a blooper for me too ;)
- Referee's taking a tumble every now and then - mainly because they're supposed to be invincible (Piere Luigi Colina style)
- A couple F1 bloopers: Fisichella going into the Renault pit lane forgetting he moved to race for Jordan & Jean Alesi running out of fuel after being told a million times to stop for fuel. Juan Pablo Montoya! Full Stop.
