Tony Paul | The Detroit News

The latest in The Detroit News' series of “15 Things You Don’t Know About Me” -- Sebastian Harris, a defender for Detroit City FC.

1. I married my high-school sweetheart and had two girls; one is almost 2 and the other is 3 months old.

2. My favorite food is spaghetti.

3. My favorite holiday is Halloween. I actually take the whole day off so i can decorate (if it falls on a workday).

4. My family is actually from England.

5. I played professional soccer in England in League 2 for Northampton Town FC. This city is where my family is from and who they supported as kids.

6. My favorite movie is "Dumb and Dumber." Growing up, I almost watched it everyday going to bed. I can basically say the whole movie :)

7. I have two dogs, one boy and one girl. Both pitbull mixes. Jake and Lily are their names.

8. My freshmen year of high school, I was 5-foot-2. By my junior year, I shot up to 6-2.

9. Every time I poke the ball away from strikers and they say, 'Man you have long legs, I didn’t think you could get that,' I always say back, 'Go Go Gadget Leg!'

10. I am in the "2010 FIFA World Cup" soccer game on all major gaming devices!

11. I secretly like to watch the Hallmark movies my wife puts on all the time.

12. I love starfruit. When I was in Hawaii for my honeymoon, I got to eat one fresh off the tree!

13. I’ve had 10 cars to date: Pontiac Grand Am, Ford Escort Sport, Chevy S-10, Chevy Renault C10, MG ZR Rover, BMW 317 Ti, Dodge Neon SRT-4, Volkswagen GTI, Chevy Colorado ZR2 and Audi A6.

14. I own my own business (Midwest Forklift Parts).

14A. I wear my heart on my sleeve. My favorite quote: “People don’t burn out because what they do, people burn out because life makes them forget why they do it.” (Inky Johnson)

15. Before I was born, a drunken driver hit us and I was born 2 months premature. I was in NICU for nearly two months, fighting for my life. Doctors told my parents I would never be able to walk, that I would be in a wheelchair all my life, and that I would have to have thick glasses to see. Well look at me now!

Sebastian Harris, 30, is from Lake Orion. He attended Lake Orion High School and Oakland University. You can follow him on Twitter @sebharris4.
