Quotes The player and person I became had a lot to do with the years spent at that incredible club. But it was the daily lessons, the constant learning. All the highs and lows taught me valuable life lessons. Things like celebrating my 21st birthday at the club with all the staff, as well the players, which the club, along with my parents, planned.
