	Diary of a Young Footballer Throstle Nest 3:08pm September 15, 2007 Watching from the stands with my Dad was always going to be agony against one of the nation’s best youth set-ups. It got even worse when Middlesbrough’s Jason White put the visitors ahead within seven minutes. It wasn’t about to get better. Two goals right in the middle of the half from Franks and Bonar put Middlesbrough three nil up going into the break, the match would end the same scoreline. I made my way down the steps, gingerly at best. I squirmed through the home dressing room to greet the manager and most of the players. The manager notified me of a few scouts present. He said that they came looking for me and left a few minutes before Middlesbrough goal because they were disappointed to see me on the injured list. He reassured me that he would most likely come back for the return of Jake Doyle. It would be weeks though, I couldn’t wait that long for what could be my big break for a big club. I would be back for the Chelsea match, I couldn’t dream of missing that match even if it was at Griffin Park in London…

	Diary of a Young Footballer Home 5:52pm September 22, 2007 Again with the bad news, I couldn’t make it down to London to watch the biggest game of my team mates’ lives with Chelsea but I didn’t have to watch the agony first-hand, I just simply logged onto the Farsley Celtic website where the result and full match report was already published in the Under-18 and Youth area. We held out longer than we did against Middlesbrough by a mere three minutes and Fabio Borini had bagged his second goal by the twenty-eighth minutes and Adam Phillip wrapped the game up in the late stages of the second half in the eighty-eighth minute. I felt gutted that I was not playing in the match or even at the ground, I hope I can get revenge for that loss later on… Just look at Micah Richards, he was a youth player at Farsley and look where he is now… playing week in, week out for Manchester City, I’ve followed in his footsteps but the wrong way round. I was racing against the clock to be fit for the match on Saturday and I would meet up with the squad on Wednesday to decide my fitness and maybe have a late fitness test on the day of the match, I didn’t want to risk further injury and be out for a few months. I was pretty confident in my ability to be fit for Saturday but I may just be kidding myself…

	Diary of a Young Footballer Stainton Park, Radcliffe 2:59pm September 29, 2007 The boss said I would take part in a last fitness test on Wednesday but here I am when the players are out on the park playing against Bury I was stuck in the dressing room ready to get out of my clothes and into something comfy so I could watch the match from the dugout. It wasn’t going to be pleasant, but I was meant to be out for a further two weeks so I feel okay with myself. By the time I get out there I read the score board and it was bad news, Bury had scored five minutes before I got out in the sunlight. I took my place up next to the goalkeeper coach, we had a chat and before I knew it the half time whistle was ready to blow and I was left on the pitch with the substitutes, I was just warming up, I didn’t want to be there, out on the pitch knowing that I wasn’t going to get on. Before I could get a touch of the ball, the boss called me in on the team talk. He said the usual stuff but told me to stay around after so he could have a few words. Before his inspirational speech we hear a strong 100 crowd roar and the manager bolted out of the door and was on the pitch by the time I got out, apparently they had scored another, 2-0 down, great. I took up the seat where I was in the first half and the only thing the cheer about was our goal and even after that they went up the pitch to make it 3-1, and Bury won by that scoreline. The time I had not being playing they had conceded three goals each match which totaled to nine. They needed my midas touch to send them up and away in the league ladder and above 12th where they occupied after this outing.

	Terrific updates again mate. I hope this wins SOMS of the week, it should certainly be a contender. I think the layout does look better without the central alignment, but I think the time, location etc would be better if it was central aligned like it use to be. Just a thought.

	Diary of a Young Footballer Throstle Nest – Home Dressing Room 5:12pm October 6, 2007 So, once again I wasn’t fit enough to play, but the physio said I would be up and away to start training in 6 days time. Will I come back on form? I got injured at just the wrong time just when I was hitting form for the first time in my life, in my third ever match. Our next match is in two weeks and in between a few international matches but that’s out of the question for me. What I need is to get back to full match fitness before the matches start again on the 20th. The players all followed each other into the showers and this was the manager’s opportune moment. He told me that I was good enough for the reserve side but it all depended on whether the reserves manager wanted me there. Our manager thought I’d be there this time next year unless I was snapped up by another club. I was stunned. Me and the manager had had plenty of these kind of talks and I thought he clearly wanted me into a higher level of the game but the only thing he thought was stopping me was my age, whether I could cut it in a higher level with all of the pressure on a fourteen year old’s shoulders. The talk really lifted me and I was fully prepared for the Grimsby match on the 20th of October. By then I would hope to be firing on all cylinders…

	Diary of a Young Footballer December 2007 After my injury in September I was keen to get my career back up and running at the end of October with matches against Grimsby and Darlington. There was just the one game in November which prepared us going into festive period. I began my load road back to fitness with light training until the night before the big match against Grimsby at Blundell Park, Cleethorpes. I was finally back after the 1-1 draw against Halifax, in which I scored my first goal in football. The club needed me and I was straight into the match, a bit early I thought personally as I couldn’t influence the match because I was hardly 100%, I thought I should’ve been a substitute, but when a club needs you, you need to play. I managed to pull through the whole game and we lost 3-0 due to an early goal in the first half and one on the midway point of the first half. Determined to pull goal back in the second half, they hit us on the break and killed the game off with a third goal inside fourty-seven minutes. I was back just a week later against Darlington under-18’s and back at the home of Farsley Celtic at Throstle Nest. A loss against Grimsby the previous week made us more determined to get back, especially with the scoreline to our Yorkshire rivals, 3-0. I was back on the left-wing and within thirty minutes we were 2-0 down, at home. Only six crazy minutes allowed us back into the game, Farsley’s Sam Platt was carried off in the 50th minute and between these six minutes we’d got a goal back thanks to Ronnie Millar, who was also recovering from injury and had spent a few weeks on the bench, unlike me. To round off the six minutes we had another injury to consult and it was Russell Ormerod who was stretchered off and is expected to be out for between three and five months with a torn calf muscle. With the score line 2-1 with half an hour left, we couldn’t salvage a point. Following the loss on the 27th of October to Darlington we had a few weeks to prepare ourselves for Sunderland and we had to prepare hard to play hard. We were very determined and a certain 14-year old lad from Brighouse was very determined to do well since his injury, it was me. I started for the third match running and I truly wish I hadn’t for the first time in my life. The weather was horrible and we were getting dominated in every single area of the pitch. It wasn’t long until Sunderland were in front, two minutes to be exact. We held on for another fifty-two minutes until we conceded twice in four minutes and that was the end of the game as a contest and Martyn Waghorn deservedly got his hat-trick on the 78th minute mark. We hadn’t had a very good month but we need to pull ourselves up from the three consecutive defeats and get our season up and running and maybe even get a win!

	Diary of a Young Footballer January 2008 We had had a terrible past few months and we were without a win this season and I had twisted my ankle midway through September. I was back and ready to face Hartlepool, injury kept me out of the match against Rochdale but nothing would stop me from facing Newcastle and Lincoln at the end of the month. We began against Hartlepool at home at I was more determined to get more goals and get Farsley up and running. The match started in the favour of Hartlepool with a goal coming inside the first minute and just fifteen minutes later, Hartlepool had doubled their lead. Yet more drama was to come from the match as we pulled a goal back in the twenty-fifth minute but it wasn’t long until Hartlepool returned the favour and by half-time it was 3-1 to Hartlepool. I had picked up a knock in the first half to my heel but I was determined to continue maybe that was a bad idea, as we went on to concede another and lost 4-1. I was ruled out for between 2 days and 2 weeks, it was really touch and go. I was in the stands for the Rochdale match and we travelled to Rochdale and to the Dark Lane. We held out for 48 minutes until Ben Wharton scored for Rochdale and we couldn’t get back into the match. The game ended 1-0 as the Farsley players trudged off. Our next match would be on the 22nd against Newcastle United, I would fit for that and in fighting shape and personally I could not wait to play against them at Throstle Nest. Between the Rochdale match and Newcastle match I was fully focused on the match until one article on the Farsley youth website dragged me away for a few minutes or so. The manager had apparently put a £30,000 pricetag on my head, to be honest I was proud of my progress since August. I felt I had done well to pick myself up from the Manchester City let-down at the end of last season and down a further notch at the tournament with Brighouse Juniors. That couldn’t stop me from preparing for the match I was about to take part in, against Newcastle. People would’ve said I was too determined I was pumped for the first half but things didn’t go our way and I was pissed, at half-time I stayed on the pitch and trained with the substitutes, the boss had to drag me in for the half-time team talk, it didn’t matter to me as I was sent off inside the first minutes of the second half. I was ashamed off myself and was sent to the home dressing room as the crowd wrongly booed the referee. Luckily for me, I wouldn’t serve a suspension for the next match, just three days before New Year’s Day against Lincoln and this match would as well be at the home of Farsley Celtic, Throstle Nest. The match was over inside sixteen minutes, inside sixteen minutes it was 2-1 to Lincoln at that’s how it ended. I thought I played well for my last match of 2007.

	Diary of a Young Footballer My bedroom 11:24pm January 3, 2008 I had just been celebrating new year and since I had joined Farsley in August I hadn’t visited the computer much and hadn’t been on MSN Messenger at all so I thought I’d pay it a visit. As soon as I press ‘Sign In’ I get bombarded by messages from my friends, five in all. They were all saying the same thing. Word on the street was that I was moving to a bigger club than Farsley under-18’s and I refused to believe them and told them I hadn’t been in any kind of talks with any club since the tournament back in August when I signed for Farsley. They didn’t believe me and it was all over different sport websites that I was joining a bigger youth set up one in the two biggest leagues in England the Premier League and the Coca-Cola Championships. I still refused to listen to them. I turned away from my computer and took my pain killers for my bruised rib that I suffered in training and have been out of action for a week or so. I was touch and go to play against Accrington, the team where I picked up my first appearance. I was ready to lock horns with them again.
