Personal Facts

He loves football although repeated knee injuries of this athlete have impaired his ability to play as much as he’d like. If Alex grows a moustache he becomes almost indistinguishable from the video game character Mario. Catchphrase: if you ever say “sorry” to Alex, his answer will always be “you will be”.
