(Calm) “That’s it. I’m finishing up guys, I’m gonna start managing.”
(Cautious) “Where? Who’ll take you? You’ve got no qualifications, and only played with us beer-lovers on Sundays, and you’re a normal-looking cripple”
(Aggressive) “I’ll be managing long after you’re forgotten at this old shack”
And that’s how it started. My whole journey started with my injury in 2014. The rehab and that took it out of me, and now I’m back to my only passion. Football. So, with my folder by my side I chose to look at Australia, New Zealand and the UK (England, Ireland, N. Ireland, Scotland, Wales). With my applications, I wanted to keep my base local (within a 2 hr drive), and to places where I have family. So, with that in mind I applied for the following vacancies on the 8th of January 2016 (my managerial “debut” at this point):
* Albury United * Albury Hotspurs * Beenleigh FC * Cobram SC * Cobram Victory
* Gold Coast United * Kyneton District SC * Logan City Strikers * Logan City Kings
* Logan United FC * Logan Village FC * Loganholme FC * Shepparton SC
* Shepparton South * Shepparton United * St Pat’s FC * Tatura SC
* Twin City Wanderers * Wagga City Wanderers * Wangaratta City
* Wodonga Diamonds

Then I was linked with the Beenleigh, Kyneton, Wagga City and Shepparton Utd positions:
