I was a gymnast and my FAVORITE EVENT was FLOOR because I GOT to SMILE.

I was a gymnast for MANY YEARS before I was a DANCER, so it comes in PRETTY handy when we do STUNTS.

My first dream as a young boy was to be a gymnast and my first memory of football is of watching Ajax win the European Cup in 1971. It was a time when a great PHILOSOPHY was being developed at Ajax, MAKING rounded PLAYERS who were there as a COMPLETE team rather than as 11 individuals.
