I went in on my first day, as happy as Larry, helped feed all the animals found out why some of them were there, was having a great time! They thought I was doing really well so they said they'd bring me in to watch a very simple operation being done on a kitty. It was getting the chop. The last thing i remember is the vet saying 'Now, if you're feelinf faint at all just let someone kno.......' BAM!!!! On the floor!! Total black out! Scalples EVERYWHERE!!! So that was the day I knew I'd never be a vet

I used to put everything into my football, attended every training session, stayed after to do some kicking and skills practice, but the management never saw fit to play me and all I ended up doing during the matches was water carrier. One day in the dressing room when togging out for a game, the manager was announcing the team, and he called “Lando, you are going to be left back today,” I was delighted, before he continued “left back in the dressing room”. Everyone roared laughing including himself. I was totally demoralised but kept plugging away in the hope one day I would get my chance to shine and prove some worth to an excellent team. One day, during a challenge match against some lowly competition two weeks before the county final, I was given my chance, five minutes from time I was introduced to right corner forward. I sprinted on. Our star midfielder (who had a few trials with soccer teams in England) went on a mazy run, so I decided to make space for him and I don’t know what came over me but I ran straight into him crashing against his knee. He went down and I nearly fainted when I saw his knee, it was like an ever inflating balloon was growing from it. It transpired he had serious damage done and would possibly never play again, and for that matter could not get a job where it involved kneeling eg plumbing, tiling carpentry or most trades for that matter. I still see him to this day, a depressed figure of a man who has took badly to the bottle and has 4 children by three different women. He has not talked to me since he threatened to kill me at the agricultural show once. We lost the county final, and the manager told me that I would not even make the bench for training after what I had done. Have you ever had a dream shattered?
