Manchester United have snapped up a 9 year old football starlet from a Brisbane team in Australia, well anyway he now live in Cheshire with his parents and brother so could in fact one day play for England...he sure shows some talent though..
I remember seeing this story a while back, but wasn't sure if they did end up signing him. I wonder if he is actually on a wage, or just gets free training?
I was at school with a guy who was on the books of a premiership side as a youngster & who at 18 was told he would not make the grade. But as the football club had made sure he got a good education, offering extra tution if needed he went to train in sports science & got his coaching certificate.
Last time i heard from him he is coaching footie in the USA.
Not everyone makes it!
