This man is my hero.
He doesn’t write books. He’s not a character in a book.
And I have a sneaking suspicion he does not even exist. But hey - no one’s perfect.
But long ago in another lifetime, before I became a full time writer, I had dreams of playing in goal for Manchester United.
The closest I got was playing Home Counties as a schoolboy and trialling at Southampton, a rival premier league club.
I once played in front of thirty thousand people in Bangkok’s Lumpini stadium in an Asian regional tournament, but that was as good as it got. At the end of the day - I just wasn’t good enough for the big time.
I didn’t have the talent, luck and fortitude of this guy.
Take a look at the video and you’ll understand why Scott Sterling is my hero.
