Hugo Steckelmacher
Hugo Steckelmacher has loved football since he can remember - indeed, his mother often jokes that he kicked so much as a baby due to his eagerness to get out of the womb and play football!
Of German-Jewish descent, a rocky love-affair with Tottenham began at a young age, and his favourite players
as a child were Nick Barmby and Gary Mabbutt. At the age of ten, he began to watch La Liga football and fell in love with the league and especially with the "juego bonito" of the two biggest clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Now living in Barcelona, Hugo regularly [sic] writes on La Liga and Tottenham.
