He was more mature at 13 than I am at 35

My soon to be brother in law played in the same Newcastle youth team as him. Going to send him the link to this clip.

He was very broad in them days. Little Geordie toe rag.

What could have been, if he'd accepted an offer from Wimbledon

In fairness they were an established PL club at the time. Swindon was surely the worst of those mentioned, but even they were top flight not long before.

Modelling his hairstyle on his hero, Peter Beardsley, I see.

Already a journeyman at 13! Named every club but Boro

Scored his first professional goals on loan at Swindon.

As a midfielder he'd probably have retired at 22 with a neck injury

1994 , must have been 9 months ish before he's 14 and can sign schoolboy forms for a club. Love the fact he's been to about 7 clubs and has got more to go to and says , 'plenty of time'. Like when the Boro was in at half time vs QPR 0-0 and he's cool as cucumber and laughing apparently and saying plenty of time in this match, just keep doing what you doing.

Interesting quote from his coach, who said his best skill was reading the game and his vision. Maybe he was born with the ability to read the game!
