A Good Year for Football: 2009

I'll be taking our middle child up to Auckland on Monday.

Back in November 2009, the month he turned 13, the week after we all saw the All Whites beat Bahrain an email arrived saying:

19th November 2009
Dear Player
New Zealand Football (NZF) is pleased to advise that you have been invited to attend the 2010 NZF National Talent Centre Programme...
This new NTC programme allows NZF to identify and recruit the most talented players in New Zealand and provides them with a development programme that lays the foundations for U17s world cup development programmes.


Caps a superb last 2 years for him during which time he's improved a little from being a reasonable club football player.



Good luck kid.
