And I Know What Confidence Medals Can

In My 20 Years In Football, I Was Fortunate Enough Never To Have Experienced Relegation. And While There Is The Pressure Of Expectations At The Top Of The League, At The Bottom It Comes In Fear And Trepidation, Which Is Almost Worse.

I Developed A Mechanism So That Whatever Mistakes I Made, I Would Bounce Straight Back. Whatever Was Happening Off The Pitch, I Could Put It To One Side And Maintain My Form. Call It Mental Resilience Or A Strong Mind, But That Is What We Mean When We Talk About Experience In A Football Team.

We Don't Give In And We Don't Stop. We Are Relentless And In The End We Usually Get To Where We Want To Be.
