Despite being promoted to the first team squad at 16 years old becoming one of the youngest senior players in the football league (and managing to sit on every bench in the lower leagues along the way), my less than glittering career with The Dale ended in 2006 due to my ability to consistently kick the ball out of play, failure to dominate my penalty area matched with an unparalleled ability to drop crosses labelling me with the nickname “Dracula”*. *Scared of crosses.My FIFA 2006 Player Stats were 48/100. Not the best but how many video games have you been a playable character on?

I’m still not entirely sure how this happened but was scouted from Walsall FC and signed for United’s Under 18's in 2003.I had my thunder stolen of being United's marquee signing of 2003 when they signed Cristiano Ronaldo a week after me. Highlights included getting walked to class by Ruud van Nistlerooy on my first day at Carrington because I got lost, getting told off by Gary Neville for playing table football too loudly with my roommates Ryan Shawcross and Tom Heaton, and being labelled a “wonder-kid” on the video game Championship Manager, thus proving that their algorithms were still in their infancy and required improvement.We won the 2003 Milk Cup though, beating Bayern Munich in the Semi-Final. I had a great seat from the bench as Tom Heaton's fluffer.
