Cash in hand.

And I'm thinking I'm going to be doing that.

Just like... I know you said lost, but...

Suppose I was in a little way, you know, because I spent all that time trying to be a footballer, you know, trying to be a professional.

Well, I was a professional for one year.

I did apprenticeship at least two years then.

So they weren't, they were like back then you signed schoolboy forms when you were 15.

You're like, no, they're signing them with seven and eight year olds.

Yeah.

But back then it was like you signed as a 15 year old.

And then you're with the club.

Then you sign your first contract when you're 16, if you're good enough.

But I didn't sign any schoolboy forms because I wanted to go around all the other clubs just to have a look.

You know, but being a Leeds fan, it was as soon as they said yes, I was.

Yeah.

You know, so from that to then at 19, like not knowing what I was going to do.

you know, delivering the bread or whatever.

Then I got a call, or my dad got a call, saying that Peterborough had come in for me.

And it worked out because Martin Wilkinson was one of the coaches at Leeds with, I think it was with Alan Clark.

And they'd left, Alan got sacked, and then Martin had left and he got the job at Peterborough, found out that I'd been released, and he came in for me.
