He was born in Italy, 7 years later Italy won the world cup, 24 years later he released the game he's most proud of (along with Wipeout) and Italy won the world cup again!. A clue: He's not 31.

He did in fact release a game when he was 7 which was a classic, he doesn't even recall the name, but it was written on an bbc acorn electron, it was a glorious football manager game, maybe the first in history, there was a trick btw, Italy always won in that game, and you could just play the same matches Italy played in that world cup. Class isn't it?
