China craves sporting recognition and has a huge passion for football, but development of the domestic game has been blighted by corruption and general apathy. Rowan Simons refuses to allow Chinese football to wallow in the gutter. Egan Richardson on an influential figure in Beijing.

Few British people have as deep an understanding of and passion for China as Rowan Simons, who moved to Beijing in the late 1980s and has lived there ever since. He has enough in his media businesses to keep him busy – the group consists of three companies, and does everything from media production to strategic consulting, from event organising to communications – but one thing has given him a sense of mission.“Football has always been my passion,” says Simons in a phone interview conducted with radio86.com just before he ran out of the door for a training session. “I started playing as soon as I came to China, but I realised very quickly that football in China was very different from football in the UK, and elsewhere. In the mid-90s I was lucky enough to be a co-commentator on English Premier League and FA Cup matches on Bejing TV, so I became very well known to football fans as the English guy who talked about football.” (more…)

FCFC-TV presents another episode of fun football in Beijing. Watch the mighty City take on the Azzurris in front of record attendance as the weather warms up. “Most fans that ever came to City match”, said football pundit Matthew D. OnkyThe going wide pays off. Sheff is on camera with more than two shots on goal and leaping ahead in the ‘who’s the best left winger’ competition, much to Blaine’s dismay. Blaine’s still got the looks though.Getting bored with all his vacation time after selling loads of electronics to friends, Alex is auditioning for a Hollywood career, giving a Florence Nightingale impression.When Philippe is not not chasing the ball he is running circles around Azz players (“every fucking time”). You better leave the ball for him.‘Google Me’ is coming on in the second half, though unfortunately the camera missed his coming off. The camera didn’t miss someone else’s walk of shame though, but not today and here.And what is Ferry doing?All in all, captured 5 out of 7 goals and about 20 shots on goal. Not too bad.
