Despite having other big ideas in my youth, there comes a time in life where indeciscion is met with choice.  For me, to really have a very-very strong sense of self belief came when I was 30.  Knowing that pooh stinks and that we all do it just made me realise that when ever so often a rose comes along which is grown from such stature, the thorns which encrust it may simply make it not worth the trouble when it comes to its picking.  For me, going out of the comfort zone can be too much strife and at the end of the day I only have myself to please from what is available out there. 

I almost died a death.  But the synchronicty of it all kind of came to my aid.  Being given half a chance and taking it made me a live man walking rather than a dead one.  Oh God, please tell me why - why does the sorrow and suffering go on?  Everybody hates you and loves you.  Nobody seems to understand you when your feeling down.  To live life as a character created from the grey matter was a position which was not just contained from Filbert Street, Bede Island, Leicester but an effect that affected me quite deeply and still affects those young and old throughout the community.  From walking down the street, finally I find my way and a new stadium!

Since 30 years of age I've been playing various sports on a regular basis.  At this moment in time I'm 40 years and counting.  I really hoped my latest blog would be not be what I have to tell you, but rather than being about the latest Ruby Rainbows Walk Of Life Event of 2009 instead a broken ankle has made the latest charitable cause a no go for me.  How did I break the ankle?  By playing football.  Yet another non age related accident thankfully!  I blocked an incoming shot on goal.  The ball hit my ankle.  I landed on the ankle rather than the base of my foot and the swelling, immobility to walk, x-ray, bandaging, plaster and crutches at the Leicester Royal Infirmary is history.  Six weeks in plaster, and a programme of physiopherapy just goes with the territory!

I am on the mend mentally.  Things are getting better.  So being the silent fiesty poker faced type myself this will make me even more determined to become as fit as a professional football player and live out my goals for the benefit of my family, freinds and the community which I sometimes hold very close to my heart.  Always remember the stone within or should that be a nut!!
