A football addicted (soccer, for US readers), who once dreamt to play in the Premier League for a top English club, who pretends that he cried when Roberto Baggio missed the decisive penalty in the 1994 World Cup Final and now he’s crazy for AC Milan and Mario Balotelli. Samardo Samuels is definitely a funny guy: he’s talkative, he definitely embraced the “fashion mode” living in Milan, he’s genuine and I’d say he’s a naive, candid big boy. Of course, I knew about his past basketball experiences (including the NBA), but I really wanted to meet him to know what kind of guy he was.įunny, this is the first word I would associate to him. When I met Samardo Samuels for the first time, earlier this season, I din’t know what to expect from this guy.
