I dream of playing for Sheffield Wednesday. In the same mist, yak bulo is especially important for me in childhood. My father encouraged me to take me to matches, if I was close to 5 years.
Matches were held at the stadium, which has one of the largest single stands in Europe. About 20 thousand people could fit on it. I didn’t think at all that all the Sheffield football players were sitting on such a majestic tribune, similar to a terrace, straight up to the sky.
Football, football, again football. Tse bulo all my life. I went to every match on Sheffield Wednesday, because we lived close to the stadium. That was especially noticeable on the podium. I mriyav grati for the whole club! Like and be like a child, like a dream for a beloved team.
Once, playing 10 years for the Sheffield Rangers, I was commemorated. Then I thought to myself like that, mute mustache of my bazhanya on Rіzdvo zbulis. There, the coaches of the child team told my dad that I was obliged to take the test at Middlewood. Sunny Monday, Tuesday and Thursday I arrived there, went through evening school and went home. They took me.
I took care of other lads, but I won’t say what I saw strongly against their background. At the school, when I was already 15, they tried to see the rose. I'm quiet in the middle, who can go to the University of Sheffield, but there, sitting in the audience, I thought about the group. Seeing that I can become a professional, even if I had everything: a good field, a strong right that left leg, a bright goal.
Ale, everything was gone in one mile. The workers of the Wednesday Academy told me that I am. Yaka reason? Duje small zrist. I want to forget that day, but I can’t until today.
What football, friend?
After my resurrection, I stopped thinking about those who, if I would become a grave dweller. I remember that my name appeared on the doshtsi. " I'm lucky. Nі, ty thinking about yakus football win? Zovsіm nі! I won a hundred pounds from the lottery. Life was not licorice.
So, I remember, they called me from Stocksbridge. I was already 18 years old, I went to work, but all the same, I need to save money, I would like to be left on such an equal footing. Nі, mova zovsіm not ishla about professional football. That buv rіven napіv-amateurіv. I signed a contract with them. The first team played at the Pivnichnaya Lisa of England - 8 division of the country.
It was necessary for me to protect the colors of the duplicating warehouse. I bulo dosit badly. I scored a lot, in another season, having taken the first place among the top scorers. To the right of the one I just want to hit the ball. Mom told me to go to Rotherham College. Let's go there. I just don't want to go to work. Ale, do not grow up, as if having taken that diploma. Yak? I engraved for the college team against other colleges - we always won.
Bari, clubs, fights and robots As soon as I became quite mature, stench appeared in my life, those who drive in football cards - bari, clubs and so on. Old Blue Ball, a bar near the center of Hillsboro. Played at the billiards, drank, not without something, left from blues after brawls. I choked on billiards, performing on the mist's zmagannyah for the Old Blue Ball. Really, I’ll go there at once, but at the same time as a shanov’s guest.
I recognized the work of the bartender at that period, even though the game for understudy in Stocksbridge brought even a small amount. To that іnodi i gravі for іnshі clubs, yak, for example, Anvіl. This team competed at the Sheffield Championship. Bulo funny bachiti 40-year-old peasants, like sipping beer right at the edge of the field. My 50 goals helped Anvil to win the championship. Tse bulo same time, what I want. I kokhav tsyu gru irrespective of the fact on which equal I acted.
Since I came across as a bartender, I went to the factory. There, becoming a carpenter. Salary? What is the salary there. Mіg allow yourself a dekіlka glasses of beer ta and buv are happy. 1000 pounds per month. Now I can fill up my car. fun bulo. My friends mustache worked there, we laughed richly, and then we went to billiards.
I was given a chance to play for the main team of Stocksbridge. We once did not chat with coach Peter Rinkewedge. Vіn buv schiry maliy, but not according to my age. I don't have a chance, I sit on lava. Ale, if you win, everything has changed. I felt myself garno at the base, typing and scoring.
Once I was hounded by the police. Todi Bulo zovsіm not laughing. We were caught for a two-on-two brawl at a nightclub. We were called for the articles " Judgment is hell. I'm a bastard, what should I put in jail. Hello, passed. I took off one rock mentally, two rocks standing on the face of the police and proving 280 years of hromada robots.
Miy Halifax and Agents Halifax Town is a bigger status club, anij Stokesbridge and team bigger Anvil. They asked me - sin is inspired. I pishov. Ale about tse pіznіshe.
" We need you to be with Liza. You take away everything that you care. Everything is there for you. If you speak out like this, as if speaking out against Mossl, then you can literally do whatever you want with the grit. You can drink farther and thank for England. You are so cool! " Been the manager of Theo Walcott and other famous football players in England.
Todi Morris spoke about the interest from the side of the clubs in the English League 1. Crewe Alexandra's managers called me, she asked for a review. The field on which the team trained was not the best. I didn’t have a moment to show myself on the face, adzhe my kozir - shvidkist. After I look back, the coach said that I could not help Cool by turning me at Stocksbridge. Honestly, apparently, I don’t cry Kru.
After I went to Rotherham, a kind of grave at Liza 2. Mark Robins - former Manchester United striker, also known as Rotherham. The club bid ?2,000 to Stokesbridge to rent me until the end of the season. Kerіvnikіv my club did not rule. I've moved to Halifax and it's not good. Wiklav club for me 15 thousand pounds, and I took a salary of 1000 pounds per month. Before the word, for Halifax in 37 matches I scored 26 goals. The period for which club is short, but even more productive. Thank you for everything!
The coaches of other clubs of the leather match sat in the stands. Before me, the coach of Doncaster turned back to me and uttered a glance. Halifax did not want me, the best football player, to be rented. Club proponuvav me at the Championship for naming the sum, yaku hotіv bi otrimati — 150 thousand pounds. Guddersfield zaproponuvav 30 thousand, for which he took vіdmova. 75 thousand pounds for Fleetwood was enough.
The club, why am I leaning at Lester Fleetwood, my new club, speaking at the National Conference. It seemed to me that Fleetwood, being a club from a non-league system, jumped to become a professional. Therefore, for the first time in my life, I saw myself as a full-fledged football player: I trained today, and not in the evenings, I spent a day. Everything was wonderful, remember those who wrote my name on the football shirt.
I scored my last goal for Halifax against Colvin Bey (1:1), at the same time I finished working at the factory, and for the next day, on 26 April 2011, I became Fleetwood's grave. Now I'm going to save football all my life and pennies for the price. Earlier about tse I didn’t have a moment and dream. John stole a trinity contract with Fleetwood for 850 pounds for the day, which was a great success for me.
Head coach Mickey Mellon ahead of me, I'll be right at the start. Tse became unbearable for me, even if I thought, I’ll see 85 hvilini and that’s it. Tse everything about the debut match.
If I'm up to the roar, the captain of the team, Steve McNulty, thought about what I need to pidbadjoriti. Vіn pidіyshov and saying: " I turned around and said I'm not boasting. Later, we laughed at him for the sake of love.
Vіn having said, having thought: " Ale, I'm just being myself, not being afraid of anything that was related to football. When I go out on the field, I think less about football. Football buv for me to be solo, so I didn’t have stress on the field. I couldn’t score in the debut game. I filled the field with three brackets on my head, more than one of the central guards sank his teeth in front of me.
After about a month or two, I realized that I was comfortable at Fleetwood. I have been exercising a skin day, ahead of 24 years of my life, and this is of little great importance. Now, before the games, I don’t have to see the fifth work at the factory. I have always had swidkіst, but now I'm aware that I'm becoming swedish and fresh. Now, I trained five times a day, and didn’t take medical tires and didn’t hit the ball at the smittev tanks in the parking lot.
I what. As you know from the football statistics, it was noted that in 36 matches against the fifth league of England I scored 31 goals. This is the result of a good practice, team play and mutual attack lines. Season-2011/12 became successful for us. We played the National League and played to the cohort of professionals. I thought that I could pay more for a bigger name club. Ale, not knowing what is needed for me.
The transition at the Leicester Transferne took place a week before our wedding with Blackpool, and everywhere went talking about my future. My agent said that Leicester and Southampton were of great interest to me, and Cardiff and Peterborough were propositions. I was also told that West Ham, West Bromwich, Sunderland, Fulham and Wolverhampton took note of me. I was given, I feel it's unreal.
Leicester chanted the contract and I waited. Fleetwood took a million for me! pounds, which became an absolute record in no-name leagues. I have signed a threefold contract for 8000 pounds for the day from the additional 2000. Now I am in a moment to bring those that I could not allow to be. For example, blame a fashionable three-room apartment across the road from the King Power Stadium, where I moved without a hitch. This amount of pennies changed my life. And all the same, it was not the most important. I just want to play professional football.
Mriya bula was closer - become a good professional. The graves of Fleetwood asked me to turn around if I buy my own cool car, and honk them on my way to the training base. We all laughed and I went to Leicester. Ale, everything went wrong there, as I thought.
Through those that the training was already more foldable, and the rib of the leg was higher, lower tі, de I engraved, it became more foldable for me. I'm starting at home, drinking richly. At one point, I was even close to saying about the end of the car'er, go to Ibiza and work as a waiter. I've changed at the shrill form.
Who needs gravel in such a filthy form?
And in the club, without me, there were a lot of attackers, including a young lad named after Harry Kane, who, on the rights of an order, came from Tottenham. I fell at the rose, and I need a fresh start. I asked Nigel Pierce to lend me a loan from Fleetwood, but niby missed my words. " Piers knew together with their coaching staff that they would never let me in at Fleetwood again..
End of the first part.
