“The fans are brilliant with me, the fans’ willingness to urge me on is like power behind me. I work incredibly hard and being scholared every day by the Gaffer means I aim to be the best I can be. Make no mistake, I will be giving everything. You’ve got to be ambitious and got to be positive and by that, you’ve got to believe that you can make attractive performances and promotion happen.”<\/p>\n
