It was only three months ago that I was playing and managing Brora United, my local Sunday League team, playing and beating men 2 times my age.
I think the locals were more impressed with my managerial prowess than my goalscoring record, and that was saying something - I was scoring nearly 3 goals per game. But somehow I managed to get the best out of everyone - even though I was only 16.
I never thought about taking my 'talent' to a bigger stage, but that all changed when Bob Trew approached me. Turns out, his nephew owns a football club in ENGLAND, and they happened to be looking for both a manager and a striker! I was stunned. I was offered the opportunity to ply my trades in League 1, at a club called Notts County.
I had never been to England before, it was certainly a long drive! We (my Mum and I) arrived at Nottingham to be greeted by Ray Trew, Bob's nephew, who suprisingly wasn't shocked by my age! After an hour long meeting, he assured me that he fully trusted his Uncle, and me, and gave me two contracts to sign - one as a player and one as a manager. I was to start tommorow!
