I check my emails on a rainy Tuesday morning, typical British weather. Sky Sports News is on the telly in the background as a particular name pops up in my inbox. An email from James Hunter, he was my FA managerial course lecturer. There’s an attachment on the email, this must be the results from my final exams and dissertation. I opened it and read what could change the course of my life forever…

I finished reading the email and one bit stuck in my mind. My potential has to be higher than that! He can’t tell me what my potential is after being sacked by Brighton and Hove Albion in 1997. 12 games, 12 defeats and 1 goal scored. What a **** record he had. Still though, I had my licence and could now go and find a job. I wonder where I will end up…
