What's your background in TT Anger manager, and how did know Jan-Ove?

Sorry to hijack the thread with this, but I wasn't sure if you read other parts of our forum, and I think others would be interested to hear about this too.

My background.. hmmm.. I started playing at club level late (16years old) so i quite soon started off as a trainer and coach. Kept on playing and getting better but never that good. Some 8 years ago I joined Norrtulls SK at the time a small club in stockholm. I joined as a player but mostly as a member of the board which was in fact two persons doing something and they needed help keeping the club running. At that time I nearly stopped playing myself and only kept my great interest going by watching, coaching and talking tt. Many of my best friends are TT-players. The club has grown and now we have about 220 members (50-70 members in 2002) and we are soon to qualify for the swedish second division.

But then 2½ years ago I started training again and my bad temper (thats why Anger Mananger is my nick) started to come back and my thoughts about swedish TT needed to get out of my head so I started a blog about TT for my friends. The blog grow very fast and quite much and I have about 1700-2000 unique readers/visitors per day these days. I think it s the most visited tt-web page in sweden by far today.

During the years a got to know Appelgren and him being best friends with Waldner was how I got to know him. We all live in stockholm, we all love tt, we all support the same football team, the difference being that they are super tt-stars and I'm not. :)

So over the past couple of years we have met up and watched sports together and hanged out me and a couple of the guys. During this period I also got to know Jörgen Persson and we talk on a regular basis. But Appelgren and Waldner are the guys that I meet up with and hang out with.

That's the short story (maybe not that short)..

I've stickied this great thread for future reference. Since Brab's already put in links to the other parts of the interview, it will be easy for future readers to find all parts.

Thanks for the short bio Anger! Sounds like you're a great asset to your club!

Very impressive stats for your blog! I only wish I could read it as well! :lol:
