Better Late Than Later

I rarely do blogs about celebs or other personalities alike -- which I'd like to coin as CeleBlogs. Wala lang. Pauso :D -- but one can do exemption to the rule, right? :)

So, this is for my favorite Azkal player who celebrated his birthday just the other day, err two days ago?... James Joseph Placer Younghusband.<3 Before I give my message to him, puhlease lemme share you some bits and pieces about him ;)


James plays as right midfielder. He was recently part of the San Beda-Rizal Team in the Smart Club Championships. He was born in Ashford, Middlesex, England on September 4, 1986 to an English father and a Filipina mother.

At the age of 10, he signed up for Chelsea and made appearances for the youth and reserve teams. He had stints with other English teams such as Wimbledon (2006), Staines Town (2007), Woking (2007), and Farmborough (2008). His family moved to the Philippines in 2008.

In 2005, James was called-up by the Philippine Football Team Federation and participated in the Southeast Asian Games held here. From then on, hd has become an integral part of the team. His recent goals were in March 2011, against Mongolia during the away game of the play-offs for the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers and against Myanmar during the group stage qualifiers of the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup.**



Belated happy birthday James! Thank you so much for representing the Philippines with all your heart through your passion and dedication to football! You are one of Philippines' sports pride and you deserve to be idolized by many. May you keep inspiring the Filipinos, most especially the youth to play your most-loved sport -- football.

I wish you good health all throughout the year. More blessings to you, your family and of course, to the Azkals team. Keep smiling! :)
