So, the last year must be one of the hardest years of my life. My football career was ended abruptly after a horror tackle which broke 2 bones in my leg. Getting told you’ll never be able play again was one of the hardest things I had ever been told. But who would of thought that this would bring something even better into my life.
I was just glad that very early on in my career I had decided to take my coaching badges. Who would have thought the SFA would actually be good at something but I hope to make them proud after gaining my badges.
While on a welcome weekend away to Florence with the wife enjoying the sights and the history. While at the Fountain of Neptune my phone rings. It’s my new agent who has promised me he will do all he can to get me a job in a top league somewhere in the world.
“Pack your bags, I’ve got you an interview in Italy”
“You’re Kidding me I’m already here on holiday. When’s the Interview and more importantly where is it for. You do also realize I don’t speak a word of Italian, don’t you?”
“Even better it’s in two days’ time and don’t worry about it you can learn it as you go. Just don’t agree to anything in the interview without running it past the translator”
“The interview is for Genoa. How long will it take you to get there?”
“If I jump on a train it should only take a couple of hours. Hopefully the wife doesn’t mind a bit of a detour”
“Great I’ll email you through the details, call me as soon as you get out”
So now I need to break the news to my wife that our holiday is going to have to be cancelled as the interview will take priority and I will need to go and get a new suit as I didn’t have anything appropriate to wear.
Surprisingly she was quite happy she was here as it meant she could have a look around the city and see what she thinks of the place in case we need to up sticks from Airdrie and move over
