I would have loved to have been a footballer like my great uncle Matt Busby, but I knew quite early on that I wasn’t going to make the grade. Luckily I was told by the age of 13 that I wasn’t good enough. That’s not a bad thing. You see this ‘X Factor’ generation of kids now who don’t accept that they’re not good enough. Brendan Coyle Read Quote
