Yeah, I was in Bermuda, amateur player.
Man United went to Bermuda on a mid-season break, had seen me playing a game, and then offered me trials, and I was successful.

I was in the reserves.
At this moment, I'm kind of proud of that right now.
about the history and things turned out with me at City.
But, yeah, I realised that I wasn't good enough.
At the time, I thought I was, but... Who was the manager?
Sir Alex Ferguson.
He had an eye for a good player, you know.
Did he talk to you and say, well, you're not getting your opportunity?
Well, yeah.

Mark Hughes never got injured.
Brian McClure never got injured.
Mark Robbins was third.
There was another striker, Daniel Graham.
And I'm surprised I still remember him.
And I think I was that far down.
