Football Research Biography 

    
         The first game ever that I watched the football game is the 1990 FIFA World Cup match between Argentina and Yugoslavia for World Cup fever and accidentally both teams became my favorite national teams to date. However, I began following watching the game since the 1993 match England VS Holland in the 1994 World Cup qualification in UEFA zone. Since then, I saw myself as a football lover and had most leisure time in football activities such as playing football, reading newspaper and magazine, listen to football radio talk, playing video games and discuss the game with my friends. I was a faculty football player in right-back position in my university year and achieved twice bronze medals in inter-university science faculty game. After the class, I always found myself in the training field. 

             

             My inspiration of football history was ignited at the beginning of 2008 when I felt the beautiful game and attractive styles of play had become rarer since the mid-2000s. This became my dream to create football historical rating project to fulfill my overwhelming passion in history of the game. The light was hidden among darkness, I admitted I had a plenty of time to do football history because I was unemployed periodically in months owning to my personal career goal severely conflicted with the restricted alternatives I could have in my country. Nevertheless, today I have achieved my professional career goal after I spent less time in football history and switched to the project of my career development, I sometimes reminisced about the unemployed period that is considered as my most failure point of my life under the surrounding social norm. I had no hope or clear goal and vision when I looked forward to the future. On the other hand, I saw it is actually the time I discovered my true identity and inner passion as the answer of my life. I thanks myself that I chose the path that I dedicated myself with the project even I know it would restrain my time to develop my career skills and I would get behind my friends' salary and jobs level for far distance but I couldn't defer myself until my career retirement and just started football history. Thereafter I have been researching, creating and developing the huge project individually without any earning thanks for my typical of willingness, never-give-up attitude and enjoyment in my beloved thing even in the stressful and fatigued time in struggling the obstacles during working. 

           I initiated my work when I established the short series of legendary football in Thailand sports websites. It was quite popular in participants but limitedly achieved improvement goal due to perspective limitation among the large group of readers. Then, I moved to establish myself in legends room of soccerpluse.com where is considered by me as my enlighten primary school of my legendary football knowledge, learning numerous things from a group of experts and I created the similar format of the series there but it was an informal work with a lot of incompleteness and erratic points. After Soccerpluse was closed, I was looking for a new soccer forum with a related-football history room and then I established a short incomplete series in FootballMaxx forum until I was invited to settle down at Xtratime.org where I had my trial project. I’m the earliest appointed as a moderator in history of the forum, was appointed only one month after registration as a member, being supported by the website administrators who are delighted to revive its history forum. I established the trial project with all completed three series within a year and successfully revived the forum until it has been independent from World Football forum as a result of a dramatic increment of participation. I got nickname as "Mr. History Forum" there. The more research the more pleasant to discover the new things and how interesting of football history conducting me to enter to the worldwide of vision. However, I finally decided to officially retire from a member after being a moderator for more than 2.5 years after I found to reach the saturated point for my contribution to the community and I switched to join the beautiful game forum at Bigsoccer.com where I've been regularly declaring the update of WFHC series. Nonetheless, all trial series are still existed in xtratime.org but it has been outdated since my retirement. This blog is the only newest update version.

         WFHC Project was originally created when I wanted to only transfer all of my works from xtratime.org into my own blogs. Unintentionally, in the step of transferring and updating, the more historical evidence were progressively found in Bigsoccer and contributed with a lot of new ideas to add new creations, structurally re-arrangement, decoration and developing methodology. The establishment project was spent around a half of year to successfully renovate the works and officially establish WFHC in August 2013 in the day I attended the match Barcelona VS Thailand at National Stadium. The WFHC development project was immediately proceeded by designing methodology, making experiments and implementation and spent around 6 years to finally complete the project.   
        

        Finally, I have to sincerely thank all advisers, followers and supporters as an indispensable important part of these works and always welcome the new comers to the World of Football History.
