YOU ONLY GET TO MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE BY BELIEVING IN YOURSELF AND WORKING WHEN OTHER PEOPLE SLEEP.

About Me

- Site ClocksGod i hate growing up...Seems years ago since we were all throwing crossers about on Agecroft every sunday. I miss being a free spirit, free from work...free from stress.I remember when i went to Oz and i just filled a case and offski's.No chance of that now.Just started managing Avro Football Club.In the Manchester league Division One. Loadsa work to do due to bad timekeeping,training attendences and other stuff.But i know how to get the foundations right and then the football will sort itself out later.If i won the lottery i would build a club where we took lads that had been dumped and destroyed by professional football clubs. Give them back the belief and confidence they had before they were used, and prove the to them that they can still love and play the game.Its all about instoring inner belief. Theres so much talent in Manchester that is wasted. Kids with talent that come from say single parent families or bad upbringings should be understood more, and given more chances. The inner city suburbs of Manchester are overflowing with talent that the profesional clubs have just dumped and treated like pieces of meat. These lads never want to kick a ball again, as their love for the game dies. Just because "ONE" person says there not good enough they give up! I'm determined to get all my coaching badges and go as high as i can in the game. It will take years and ive had people tell me i am waisting my time which just makes me more determined. Ive fell by the wayside a few times, but now i'm just spending time with my family and doing football, I don't have time for anything else. Sometimes i get it wrong and sit back and think about mistakes ive made and it makes me stronger to rectify them. Knowledge is only gained by people making mistakes,and learning off mistakes.Just got married to Amanda so now we are officially now the Coopers. Lifes good, and i am purely a family man now. No more Terry Turbo lifestyle for me! Love football as its a game of passion that can introduce you to a side of people you never thought existed. Love my daughters Cherelle, Milly and our little Brodie. Love Man City and miss all the lads i use to go to the match with.Saturdays of old consisted of 24 hour party people. Up at 9am, meet the lads at the match, go wherever the blues played, do a graft and then hit the nightlife of Manchester. The Banshee,The House, The Boardwalk,The Hacienda,The Thunderdome and the beloved Cyprus Tavern. Best thing i ever did was go to Australia and getting married and have kids. Kids are the reason we live! My ancestors are the reason i exist. They died so i could live. Dont take life for granted. Treat every day as your last. God Lives and i believe. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. What goes round comes round. Live by the sword,Die by the sword.ABOUT ME??? I couldnt tell the truth really or else i would get nicked and go to jail,with book deals offered! Ive calmed down now and have a little girl called Milly Rose, as well as my step daughter Cherelle who i worship.Im with a great girl in Amanda Edwards who ive known since i was 12. Been to America,Australia,Dubai...all Europe so ive done well for a lad from a broken home, and i count myself lucky ive seen what ive seen, and experianced what i have. Word of advice...before you have kids...see the world as you only get one life! You can do anything if you really really want it.It opens up new horizons. You can say.... you died and saw it all! Well you wont be saying shit really as you'll be dead!
