INTRO

Did you ever dream of being a fireman or a footballer when you were a young boy?

Of course, but once you started to learn I bet that changed, because it sure did for me.

When I was a young boy, like many I always dreamt of being a footballer, this was due to many reasons, the main one being that I was brought up into a family which was crazy about football and every year in my household we would have the whole family round to watch the famous ‘Manchester Derby’ and if you were born in Manchester from a very young age you were either branded a Red or a Blue and to this day, that is what separates us Mancunians.

BODY

Although, I had always wanted to be a footballer, this was always going to be a dream, so throughout my school years I took a particular interest into computers and I also started to spend a lot of my free time on computers, this quickly became a hobby of mine and I started to play more and more until I before I knew it I was going to compete in console gaming tournaments at the very young age of around 14 years old. Ever since then gaming and computer have always been my favourite hobby and I often spend my free time gaming. …show more content…

  • John Alexander Ross Mckellar's Football Field: Evening

    933 Words  | 4 Pages

    “Who believes they can become a professional footballer”, my lifetime mentor and coach always asked. As a naïve, buoyant young boy stepping into his first pair of freshly polished cleats, it was easy for me to dream of my future as a footballer on the big screen. " Cross bars and posts, the echo of distant bells, The cool and friendly scent of whispering turf"; these words from John Alexander Ross McKellar's 1946 poem 'Football Field: Evening', evokes a memory encapsulated by a significant time period in my earlier days, a time when my passion for football was seemingly indestructible. McKellar clearly exemplifies the realisation of his idealistic dreams as he too was once a young sportsman, a value that I can now strongly come to terms with as I approach the conclusion of my schooling years.

He was talking about how we have no reason to hold anything back or wait for someone else to get the job done. As I stood there, with coach’s voice in the back ground, I thought to myself he is right this is probably going to be the last time I pad up with this group of guys and play with them.
