Members of the West Ham United squad discuss their main hobbies away from the football pitch, explaining what sparked their interest and advising how fellow Hammers can get involved. Today, defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka shares his love for gaming...
Can you tell us about your main hobby or interest outside of football?
Outside of football, I spend a lot of time with friends and family, as I am quite busy with football, so it is good to be able to give as much time as possible back to them. In terms of hobbies, I would say gaming. I play Call of Duty, and I’d say I’m quite good at it. There are a few of the boys [in the team] who also play it and are very good as well.
How did you get into it?
When I was younger and the weather was bad, we weren’t allowed out, so I’d have to find some sort of way to entertain myself, and I did that by gaming.
What do you like about it?
There are some challenges, which is good, and when I play with friends, it’s competitive. It’s a good way to relax away from football and take your mind off it.
