Cardiff University
They say uni is fun.I disagree.I'd been marked out as a nerd the moment I stepped into the place.The last few months had been particularly awful.I'd started studying for my coaching badges and spent more time in my room than usual.I couldn't wait to get out of that godforsaken shithole.Even though it was my last day my learning wouldn't end there.I was going to Aberystwyth to take my UEFA-A Coaching Badges so I could manage or at least coach a Professional team.

Almost 2 years after taking my coaching badges I live in a flat in Cardiff.Nobody wants a 25-year-old manager and despite my agent's (best mate) best efforts I couldn't get a job.My teacher from Aberystwyth called weekly telling me my talent was being wasted.There was plenty of clubs out there but none would take a chance.I wanted to stay in Britain but anything would do.I was on the edge of bankruptcy which didn't help.I switched on Sky Sports News and suddenly got excited.
