About the author: Akarsh Sharma

Akarsh Sharma is an editor and founding member of one of India's fastest growing football websites - www.thehardtackle.com. An unadventurous teetotaler, his only bad habit is to ruin relationships with people for the sake of football. At 6'1", he mirrors Peter Crouch on the field and is forced to look down upon people. Although his boyhood hero - Michael Owen - has sold his soul, his love for everything in the Red of Liverpool has no bounds.
