My first match with him was 96 FA Cup Final where England's best young sides clashed with King Eric going up against God and as the Spice Boys became nearly men my father called a toast for their first ever double double while McManaman called out to the boy in me like any Malaysian boy the sight of someone in full flight with the ball at his feet and his hair in full pursuit was magic but magic to my father was watching grown men rise from the ashes of a plane crash to fly home with glory in memory of their fallen brothers You see, when you grow up with Kamikaze fighter planes for shootings stars and gunpowder for fireworks magic has less to do with wonder than it is about fire it is walking on with flames burning on your back leaving behind the embers of your will as you leave before your time

me, from the poem Legacy (YNWA)
