His cousin was absolutely fantastic at football - a real wizard - so good that he trialed for the Liverpool team for his age group when he was 14. They said he wasn’t physically strong enough and should try again in a year.
A year later he tried again, and again they rejected him. He kept trying for other clubs for a few more years and in going for his passion messed up his school education. To his credit, he went all out.
He failed to make a career out of football, but at least he followed his passion.
He’s now in his mid-forties and stacks shelves in a supermarket.
