A good read that, I wondered what had happened to him. Saw him a couple of times in the Northern League, he had something but was nowhere near as fit as he should have been and it affected his game badly.

Good to see he's sorted himself out and is enjoying the game.

Great to read that. I took my nephew to Jamie's academy a few times. It is a really impressive set up and Jamie is just brilliant with the kids but he expects very high standards. And gets them as well. But althuogh they work hard they enjoy themselves, important that and something that can be lacking from some youth set ups. Ben's brother Mattie was playing at the time and did look a real prospect.

Thanks for the link, that's a good article. It must be difficult trying to make you way in the game when you'll always be known as "son of. ......". Glad to see he's rediscovered his passion for the game.
