Summertime (FREE AGENT AGAIN)

The title of this post doesn't somehow correspond with the weather I'm seeing outside or my impending Marital status however, i can't deny that after featuring in Leicester citys final game of the season i am now fully focussed on the joys of summer/holidays etc..   A frustrating season due to injury, performances and results there is certainly a feeling of underachievement and i would very much like an opportunity to have a full injury free campaign and gain automatic promotion in the future.. The premier league is the place to be and is the focus of many a players ambition , not only...

Back to Life

I managed to play my first match since being injured last year, it was against kettering on a cold night at their non league ground. (rushden and diamonds)- thanks Martin It was great to put on a Leicester shirt again and I'm really thankful to the Leicester physio and medical staff for working with me so hard during this frustrating period..

The thrill of scoring...

As the football transfer deadline approaches i would like to touch on the effect that this system has on us as professional players.. Having been in the situation of waiting for the go ahead for transfers to take place in the past i can honestly say that it is a nervous experience. There are so many things that need to be planned and anticipated all before pen is finally put to paper such as - Places to live , transportation , commuting , wages and personal terms, new teammates and potential new friendships , medicals and fitness tests, current form, pressures of performance, bonus and incentives...

2012

There are alot of theories about the world ending in 2012 and i feel the best way to deal with it is to carry on as normal.. If these theories are born from rumours then the intent is to cause chaos and after watching the news coverage of the nations rioting and looting over the past few months it serves as a prelude to whats to come if we lose our control, purpose and direction.. I have been following Eastenders on bbc 1 over christmas my favourite character Youssef and his mind games have been great entertainment , because of this i have been given a new nickname at home replacing the Grinch...
