Why I shan't be clapping Ashley Young

Quite weird for me to read that article, I can't help but notice the similarities between our time in the Watford academy.

. Both scouted by Jimmy Gilligan and Chris Cummings
. Both released at 15 for being too small and offered a non standard scholarship instead

I suppose the real difference was his mentality and mine at that age.....I was told that I was too small, so I accepted their decision and despite being offered a trial with Spurs, gave up on playing football completely as I no longer enjoyed the game. He had that hunger to prove others wrong, fair play to him!
