जब मैं इसके बाद वेलिंग क्लब गया, तो मुझे फुटबॉल के अलावा किसी और नौकरी के बारे में भी सोचना पड़ा था। अगर वह बात नहीं बनती, तो शायद मैं अपने परिवार के कंस्ट्रक्शन के बिजनेस से जुड़ जाता और एक 'ब्रिकलेयर' (राजगीर/ईंटें जोड़ने वाला) या वैसी ही कोई और मजदूरी कर रहा होता। चैंपियंस लीग के फाइनल में खेलना--जो मेरे करियर का सबसे बड़ा मैच है--एक बहुत बड़ा कदम है, लेकिन यहाँ तक पहुँचने के लिए मैंने जो संघर्ष झेला है, उसके बाद अब मेरे मन में किसी भी चीज़ का कोई डर नहीं बचा है।

When I then went to Welling I had to think about the possibility of getting another job outside of football. If that hadn't worked out then I would probably have joined the family building firm, working as a ‘brickie’ or something like that. It is a big leap to be playing in the Champions League final - the biggest game of my career - but after what I've been through to get here, it holds no fears for me.
