I was never a prisoner to my footballing status.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was not a very good football player when I started out.
I'm not an ordinary prisoner.
It was easy to get wrapped up in some of the negative stuff, but obviously I chose not to. I didn't want to get in trouble and end up in prison where I can't play football. It was as simple as that.
I was a hockey player. I played hockey forever. That was my life and my job until I got injured, so I get sports, and I get the sports atmosphere, the feeling around other athletes, but I never played football.
I had sacrificed my entire life to play football.
Playing professional football is something I'll never be able to do.
I was never trained for anything.
I never got into sports at all until I was in my early 20s, after my music career got going.
I never pursued a career relentlessly.
Football was not what I was put on this planet to do.
