    Escaping gangster culture to live the dream

    By in Copenhagen
    Wednesday July 27 2011
    IT sounds like an ambitious script. A Jamaican leaves home to escape a life of violence, becomes the first member of his family to get a college education, and ends up in Ireland pursuing a career in football.

      "I was the No 1 goalkeeper for the youth system, but when I went to the college, the media turned their back on me and the football federation as well," he sighs.
      "A lot of people didn't want me to go to college. I was expected to go and play at a higher level. I chose school to have security, to be the first of my family to graduate. But they (the federation) wanted me to stay in Jamaica and then, when the door opened, move to Europe."

          they were asking him to give up sure fi unsure! the football graveyard is littered with those who waited, and waited and waited... the yute had to do what he thought was best. i am HAPPY to see it working out for him.

            yeah. Good yout. He decided that he wanted to go pro. He could have gotten "fat" after college but didn't.

            Well after all Goal Keeping might be our strong point with 4 Professional goalies and young Blake in a good program at UCONN.
