And a big fuck you to that coach in Belgium, what a wanker.

[Small Rodent]

Excellent stuff. The Konsa article below it is too.

The Konsa one was also praised at the time. If these lads can really write like this, wow! Fuck football, get them/their ghost-writers pub deals.

[Brend'Watkins]

That’s a great read. He’s not the person I thought he was.

It puts into perspective those who consider him mentally fragile when he misses games. You have to strong to come through what he has. And that goes for a lot of kids who’ve made it in professional sports. But certainly for those kids who have come from parts of the world which are particularly disadvantaged or their parents have.

[SamTheMouse]

Tremendous stuff. Eloquent and moving.

Has he ever expanded on his crown celebration?  I wonder whether its part homage to his Grand-père.  I hope so.

A fantastic read.  Thank you for posting.

Great article.

The Ezri Konsa one further down is not bad either.

[andyh]

What a wonderful piece to read.
I must admit it was quite emotional.

[Olneythelonely]

That’s a brilliant read.

[Scratchins]

Such a moving article, dust in my eyes.

Wow.
