What life would Steve Harris have?. If he wasn't in Iron Maiden...




AP: It's hard to tell me. Steve Harris could probably do sports next. Or would do a lot of human work. He would certainly be a great worker. So I don't know what job Harris would do. Because if I say all names of the other work. So we could be here for several years talking about work of life. And it could be very long. So I'll go straight to the point.



Real story:


Maybe you don't all know. And maybe you're a new fan here. Let me tell you a short real story. Young Steve Harris played football. He is a fan of West Ham United FC. After several years of playing, Steve Harris decided he didn't want to play football anymore. And more he eager to play music. So young Harris bought a guitar. He played in several clubs at the bar. But he wasn't happy. You wanted do his things. So Steve Harris formed Iron Maiden. Which sits on the music scene from 1975 until today.




Not a true story:


AP: I don't even know-how. But arose to me the question. When I bought games FIFA 20 for PS4. So the question: What life would Steve Harris have ?. If He Wasn't In Iron Maiden.



Let me start by saying.


Please take this story with caution...


AP: Yes, I know what you think. That is not possible. That's unreal. This is stupid. Yes, you're right. And I understand your views. But it's just a fictional story. And nothing more. As you know, this story will be unreal. But it will only be fictitious from my head. OK.


How I immediately bought the game. So I created the character of Steve Harris. I'm pretty sure the character doesn't look exactly like Steve Harris. I also had to figure out a story by 2020. When it is FIFA 20.



I tried to choose the right skin colour, eyes, faces. Then I chose these long hair.

I set the height. I chose the colour of clothing. And the character was done.


The story is for 2020. So Steve Harris had to be born in 2000. The frightening notion of whether Iron Maiden exists or not. And if someone else created the music band. But it is scary.


At the age of 2015, Harris would be 15 years old. He loves football. Playing for West Ham United FC. But he finds himself at an intersection.


Harris isn't quite sure. Whether to leave the football team. Or not.







Harris has good years. And he's fine. Steve Harris receives a proposal from West Ham United FC. Take a short break to think. Steve Harris has many friends. Which play street football. Harris decides to join them. Because football is his passion. Harris tells himself (why not, I'll try a change. But he plays and the passion for football remains the same). Harris got a tough test. But he can endure it.



And later he becomes captain of half-street football. And he goes on a short tour with them. For example as: Europe, America, South America, Japan, and more.




After Japan, he and his team are leaving for the next tour. To Europe. In the Netherlands, they will win. So the team travels to Rio. Where they meet with football stars. They'll play football with them. And Steve Harris gets a big offer.


Playing in New York. As a new team for already as introduced.




In New York, Steve Harris joined Manchester City FC. Because Manchester City FC had a similar colour shirt as West Ham United FC. Although they are different. The managed to him win.



His qualities prove that Steve Harris is a talented football player.


He showed a fantastic handstand with the ball. With great joy, he ended the victory. But his journey is not over yet.





Steve Harris and his football team are returning to Rio again. To play the final rounds. For the first time. Steve must log in with his team. And Steve names him: Maiden. Here he does not think like a musician.


But here he thinks like a football player. Therefore, this name. Oh sure. The mascot stays with the name Eddie. But here the mascot looks like a handsome guy. In style something like Rock and Roll. ( as Elvis Presley?). ( laughter)


Steve thinks Eddie shouldn't be scary. But nice. To help attract a lot of fans. In the female gender.





Steve Harris is getting ready with his team o the last big day. He became the captain of the team.







Steve is determined to win. He believes and feels in the bones that they have victory at their fingertips. Even he knows that is a long, hard road. So feels before the game that it's time for motivation. So he summons the team and tells them a motivational speech.


After several matches, it is time for a big break.



Steve Harris talks to a friend from the team. With the name SYD. Maybe it looks like some connection ?.





Although SYD is a character only in FIFA 20. Surely Steve had a lot of girl fans at a young age as a footballer.



However, in FIFA 20 it can be seen that there is some friendly relations among them. But nothing serious happened between them. So only friends remained.



And finally, in Bueno Aires, he gets to the final. Where Steve Harris with his team Maiden. Wins final. Shortly before the virus spreads to the world. So Steve Harris managed to win.



And they became champions. And they win a big cup.







Their common winning photo.





Their common winning photo.




And he goes back to England. And announced his return to West Ham United FC. Harris's team at West Ham United FC. It is good news. For all and it is a happy ending and a happy start. But the season is disturbed to because of the virus. So new matches with West Ham United FC are postponed. Or will be moved to 2021. But the lucky fact is that Steve will stay in West Ham United FC.



The End of story.





AP: I made this story. If Steve Harris had played football. Still was a great player. However, we cannot know what would happen if Steve Harris left the club and what work he would do today. With one certain thing, I can say that Steve Harris could do any work. But you might not cant know him. Because he wouldn't be famous. But he would be an ordinary worker. You could read about him in the paper as a worker. And that could be all.



But in real-time Steve made these decisions. He wanted to play in a band. Where will he write his songs with members. And he did it with Iron Maiden. If he hadn't made that decision. We might not know about him. And we couldn't hear that great sound. His solo and gallop on guitar. Or we couldn't ever hear those great song lyrics. We couldn't hear the melody from other band members. And the great voice from Burce Dickinson. Iron Maiden would probably not exist.



Steve's decision makes a lot of big sense today and importance. That's why Iron Maiden exists today. And that's why we're and can be his fans today.





We thank you, Mr. Harris.
