While I was at school, I 1 train with Spurs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I also
2 for English schoolboys, so I suppose I was
3 a school boy star.
I didn't really get into 4 at school. I had my two elder brothers there for
5 of the time that I was there, so my stay at the school wasn't that hard.
6 other children had a really hard time.
I left 7 the end of the Fourth Year, and that caused a bit of trouble. I was allowed
8 maths and technical drawing early. I passed them
9 , but unfortunately I failed in woodwork. If I'd stayed on
10 12 subjects like the other children.
It was a big decision to leave early so as 11 take all my exams. It could have meant that I'd wasted
12 years. But how many could get the
13 that I had? I'm told that only one in 1000 makes it in
14 , so you have only a very slim chance. But I decided to go for it and looking back it was the
15 thing to do.
I didn't support Spurs 16 a boy. I supported QPR, my local team. But to play for Spurs,
17 had just won the FA Cup, was interesting to me. There were so many
18 , and of course Bill Nicholson was the
19 then—a great manager.
I didn't have any girlfriends at 20 .I was
21 deeply involved (陷于) in football that I didn't have time.
22 I don't have direct contact with my old school friends, I own a sports
23 in the area, so they often drop into the shop and talk about the old days,
24 is really nice. I'm always pleased to see them.
I would advise anyone 25 to be a footballer to stay on at school to do their exams. If a club wants you badly enough they'll come in for you later.
