“Yeah, I feel like, I mean, you can't really put so much responsibility on youth players or young players to keep you up in the Premier League. It's such a big ask. Feel like maybe the following season it was kind of like could he get a sniff and I think he kind of brought his own players in and done his own thing which is that's football.”

“Possibly. Don't get me wrong, you guys are a great club. They've had some great players doing very well at the moment. But I feel like. I didn't really have a chance in a fascism to prove if I was good enough. I feel personally anyway. I know, to be fair at the time Newcastle was fighting to stay up. in the Premier League when Rafa Blina was first”

“Yeah, actually, not I wouldn't say a massive, not back. It was a knockback, but it was kind of like, maybe a knockback I needed at the time. Like, I remember sitting down with my dad and my agent at the time and saying, listen. Me and my dad are brutal, whoever we work with, we want the honest truth, no matter if they say we don't want him, he's not good enough for us. I'd rather my agent tell me that. But how the relationship was at the agent with my agent at the time, he kind of sugarcoat things. So, me and my dad kind of had to get out of him. What did the club say? Like, just tell us, be honest. And his words were, the club don't think you're good enough already at the moment in time. So it's kind of like in my head, it's like, okay, fine, no problem. It's time for me to go elsewhere.”

“He should have. But it didn't really because I always believed that no matter what happened where I went, I'm going back to Newcastle. So, no matter if I played, didn't play at all, or played rubbish, I'm going back to Newcastle, back to the Premier League, but not knowing the effects that could have, or it did have in the end, even though I think all the clubs I went to bar one, I left goal scorer. But it was like I could have, looking back, I felt like I could have went that extra step further.”

“My dad always told me no matter where you are, if you have that mentality that you're a Premier League player, but at the moment you're just on league one, that's fine. But if you don't have that mentality that... So I don't need to try here, then it's not going to work out. So it doesn't matter where you are. If you have the mentality, I should be playing in the prem. But right now, I'm playing here. That's fine. And I feel like you go a long way to where I am now. I'm having a player. Bit of advice that my dad gave me was Oki.”

“Got me in Shrewsbury, yeah. I don't think you'll travel that far. But now, yeah, I feel like at that age, you don't really think. You're going to learn for. I mean, first team experience is. Is probably the best at that age as well. And knowing that, because I feel like no disrespect to youth team football is cool. Tick-tacker, pretty football than going to league one, like I said, on loan, you're going to get bashed around. So you need to be ready for that physical battle. And I feel like going alone definitely helped me. Looking back now, it helped me a lot. But at the time, I was thinking, I don't need to go on loan. I'm ready to be. I feel like from young I've always had that.”

“Sit down, I have a long chat with him. Be a long I think I'll just say, this is where the hard work starts, it's not finished, you can't pull it on cruise control. You've got to go to extra gear. Yeah, I might have Premier League Club, but I haven't played yet. I've not got continuous games under my belt to be saying, okay, I'm a Premier League player now. It's like I'd say to a younger Ivan or anybody that's in that situation doing such a big jump. To say that's when the hard work starts.”

“My family, although they kept on telling me don't do nothing silly, look after your money, this and that, you kind of think, okay, but they're not here to control what I've got hold of right now. I can spend it on this. I can spend it on that. Like, you just do things, like I said, things you never normally do. Like, we get in personal shoppers to come to the house. And who do I think I am? Go to the shop and buy yourself stuff if you want to do that. So it's like these kind of things. Yeah, I think it didn't come at me fast. I wouldn't say that. I'd say just like a surprise kind of thing Like I said, I thought I'd made it. So whatever happens, I'm fine. I'm in the Premier League.”

“It is crazy. It is crazy. It's so exciting. You want to tell everybody, you want to say, Oh, I'm going here tomorrow. Yeah, I'm going here. I'm going here. But with me, how I am, nothing's done till it's done. Especially after the wolves stuff. That was on the back of my mind, so I'm thinking, right, just wait until it's all sorted, then you can tell everyone. When I'm so excited, I just want to tell this person, that person, this is something. It was crazy. My head was all over the place. I'm thinking, I'm actually going to the Premier League. I've made it, I'm here. But little did I know how far from it. Like when you take that step, you get noticed more You get more money Just do silly things. You get mixed in the wrong crowd, going out. And they're buying things you wouldn't normally buy. A bit naive. As well, being away from.”

“I don't feel like else. Yeah, going back to moving to Newcastle, it's like. going from League 2 to Premier League. It's crazy, like Northampton, you get recognized, but it's not crazy. Then go into there, Newcastle. I'm in the hotel. Everybody's recognizing me straight away. It's like a crowd outside the hotel waiting to see me in the scanner. 18, this is what happened so fast.”

“I feel like there was a wear because before we set up to see a specialist because they, I feel like they wanted to know what was going on, how bad it was, because I think certain sculiosis, it stops you from walking at a certain age and just gets worse and worse. We did see a specialist who said you'd be lucky to be walking at 28 still. And I was just like, it doesn't really register. You think at the time at 18, I'm thinking, well, I'm fine now. I'm enjoying football now. So it's not really register, but being 27, closer to 28, you kind of think, well. strong, fit and healthy, touch wood continuously”

“I'll know where the club came out and said, we're not looking to sign you no more due to you having scoriosis in your back. It was so confused from getting a squad number, meeting all the players, meeting all the staff, and then for them to come out and say, Scoliosis in your back, we're not looking to sign you. It's kind of like. That really is the reason there's more behind it. From having to go back to Northampton. Like, I've said my goodbyes at Northampton and I'm supposed to be going signing the Wolves then the next day I'm back in Northampton and training with the boys. Everybody's like, what's happening? And the manager sat me down and said, listen. Dwell on that. I'm sure other things will come into place, I think a few weeks later Newcastle were interested and I went there.”

“It was crazy first time away from home at such a young age, 18 is like. As well, you thought you were a From league two, there was talks with you going to a Premier League team and like I would never end them changing feel like. I was a man. Like, there were talks going on, but nothing's done until it's done. So it was kind of like actually before I was going to Newcastle, I was supposed to go to Wolves. But I've got there, I got to I've met everybody, went in the change of rooms, got my number on, took the pictures, they come to the contract side. And then I think that was a bit of. Talk with my agent and the club on certain things and then it related back to us. It was all just confused me and my family didn't know what was going on.”

“Wasn't told, so everyone's in the dressing room talking. Ah, we've got scholarship, scholarship, and I'm there still on trial thinking, when am I getting told? And it wasn't until the next morning on the meeting, like the first meeting of all the scholarship players joined up, I got a phone call and said, Got a scholarship. We'd like him to come down and.

Football as much because being rejected at Leicester is kind of like, oh, okay, let me just chill for now. But then my parents was just like. To Northampton because that was a game that we played Northampton when I was at Leicester and then I think Northampton said if anybody gets released from them let us know I think Leicester must have put me in touch with Northampton and I was kind of like I mean I about going but then I ended up going and it was kind of like Everybody's playing for scholarship. It was like on the last day Everybody already knows they're getting a scholarship. And I was the only one”

“In terms of running, and I never liked running, I was always the lazy one at the back of the group because I knew when it's time to get up my pitch, I will score goals. But, like, we all know how do I beat talent when talent doesn't work hard. So it's kind of like, if you got the talent and you can work on the hard work and put them both together, then you give yourself the best chance of becoming a top athlete.”

“Just out the front of where I live, it's like on the front is a park and like the older guys will just be out the front playing and there's me at like 7, 8 trying to get involved and these guys are like 15 16 and they're all playing rough no matter if you're Nine, ten trying to play with us, play with them, they're going to be rough. So that kind of helped me into today's game, how I am now. Progress a lot quicker. Even when I was like 16, breaking through at Northampton, I kind of had that bashing around at a young age by the older guys. So being 16, getting basked around by men, let's say, I was kind of like used to it.”
