99 Days Before Many Of Us Becomes Dust - FIFA !!!!!!
I am a footballer ! I... AM... A FOOTBALLER.... I am a footballer - as if these words made sense in over 46 years !? The thought of messing up the garments for cheers and hoorah - often inspires us to be magnificent and unique !? I am footballer, is not always the best statement, but a way in which we assume our place on the Earth !? The packed stadiums, the unrelenting crowds !? I am a footballer !?? (long pause) Not because I wanted to, but because football is the most unified sport in LIFE !?
