I'm now about to embark on stage two.
Also, my nephew/godson has been selected for a trial at Newcastle United's football academy. I'm very chuffed.

He's bloody good; I went to see him a few weeks ago and even though his team got possed 7-1 (by a team of older lads), his fearlessness in crunching into tackles would have put some pro's to shame.

Apparently there will be scouts there for the two days. He does get mentioned a fair bit in the local rag's reviews of the junior league matches, and a few of the visiting team's managers have asked about him.

That seems to be a breeding ground for players in your neck of the woods.

He got selected to play for Northumberland a couple of months ago, which was when I went to see him. Considering that most of the lads hadn't played in the same team before they did well. Oddly enough they played against a Newcastle team that was about 70% Wallsend Boy's Club; Christ they were good.
