Av read aif o his book but lost interest to be honest. He came across in his book like he is 40 going on 18. Whether that was to help sell the book to the younger generation I dunt know? but it was starting to become one dimensional and started to grate on me after a while. It was also disappointing to read some things in it. It just confirmed to me that most footballers dunt really know that they're born. Perhaps I'm being unfair and should read the remaining chapters.

Av watched and reccomended his podcasts on YouTube which are decent to be fair. He seems a good lad, very bubbly and game for a laugh. He had a good career but I can't help feeling that his lifestyle and in certain cases his attitude held him back from realising his true full potential. I thought he had ability in abundance, great feet for a big lad and at times a touch of class.

Good luck to him in his new venture.
