Here we go Again- a story by Ravenie
Hi. I'm Chris, I'm 30 and I'm a mess. The story of my life starts here. Where am I exactly? Nowhere. Like I said, I'm a mess. I used to have it pretty good you know, I used to be a pretty good footballer. I enjoyed a playing career at such illustrious clubs as Hearts, Blackburn and West Ham. West Ham.....ah... It all returns to me now. It was 2004, I was younger, in better shape. We had won 3 games on the bounce and were pushing for promotion. I remember that day so well, I think about it everyday and I wonder what might have been if it didn't happen.
The it I am referring to is when I broke my leg. I feel like a bit of a clown looking back on it actually...We were playing Coventry City, and I being a defender went in on a hard challenge on Marcus Hall, a player let's say I particularly despised. I made quite a fatal error, as he also went for the ball significantly more aggressive than I. He.....I'm sorry...he didn't ever make contact with the ball...but my leg felt the full force of it. My leg had to be amputated and I was told that I would never play football again. Imagine something that you really love and have a passion for, like art or dancing. And being told that you can never do it again. Never again. I didn't want to believe it. But it was true....I was never to play football again
What does everyone think of my opening paragraph?
If you do take a look at my story I would love to hear some comments.
