Interests and Passions

Akram enjoys films. His favourites include The Chase, The Magnificent Seven and Return of the Seven. When Akram was younger, he would regularly go to see films at ‘The Regal’, which was on Staniforth Road, off Attercliffe. Asian films were also shown there.

Akram played cricket when he was younger for Sheffield Friends, who pioneered the way and set the standard for future Asian teams to follow. Although his playing days are now behind him, Akram’s passion for and interest in the game has not diminished and is a very keen supporter of cricket.
