In 1999 at the age of six I sat in my front room and watched Manchester United score two late goals to win the champions league final and complete a historic treble. From that moment on I was completely captivated by the beautiful game of football. As a kid I juggled competing for Great Britain in gymnastics and a four year contract at Notts County football club.
