I understand he is a nice guy. I have seen him from a distance a few times, but I don't consider that "meeting him." He spends a great deal of his time in Texas - flies up for the games. He has other non-sport business endeavors in KC as well.

For anyone interested, Lamar Hunt was largely responsible for the creation of the AFL (American Football League now called AFC) and the merger which led to the modern NFL. The Super Bowl Trophy is named after him too (although he has only won it once).

Hunt should be dotting the i's and crossing the t's on papers adding the Dallas Burn to his cache of MLS clubs he's an invester-operator in, thus the reasons for spending even more time in the Lone Star State than usual...

I'll never forget the image of Mr. Hunt in the Wizards locker room at RFK Stadium in Washington after they won the 2000 MLS Cup title. He was celebrating right alongside his players-- and although I had interviewed him for features on three other occasions earlier on that championship weekend, I got the impression that he was a "regular guy" who just happened to have millions of American dollars and several different interests.

The impression I got from him was, "Good to see you again"-- he never turns down an interview request, and especially not when it comes down to promoting soccer in the USA.

One other side note from that day... Mr. Hunt was said to have never missed a Chiefs game in 30 years with the exception of this championship match in Washington. Very few people could understand why he wasn't in Kansas City for the Chiefs' game against the Oakland Raiders, but his presence was better served and justified by being at RFK.

Cheers,
William

How did you find him BSA?

I was at a Boxing show in Sydney last year and was cheering against one of his fighters, anyway after the fight he came out with about ten members of Team fenech into the crowd and confronted a few of the guys around us(including my brother).

Absolute scumbag, apparently he belted Mundine's manager a couple of days ago too.
