2) Break into the first team at 18
3) Score your first goal at 19
4) Become a fan favourite at 20
5) You are the backbone of the team at 23
6) The players adore you, the fans love you
7) Given the captaincy at 25
8) Whole club revolves around you
9) You are 27, 11 years at the club now
10) Still no trophy, somewhere deep down it plays on your mind
11) Suddenly out of the blue from nowhere, you have a suitor
12) Someone has seen you and liked you
13) They are hell bent on signing you
14) Do everything in their capacity to make you feel more wanted than the place you currently are in
15) You are hesitant and don't want to give it. Keep an arms distance
16) But you are tempted. The trophy. The money. By it all
17) Your fans realize you are flirting with danger. Your players advise you not to get carried away
18) You push them all away and slowly get sucked in
19) You get the feel you are doing the right thing
20) Finally, you make the move against everyone's wishes
21) Just because you were blinded by the love showered by your suitor
22) By the importance given to you. The money. The promise of trophies
23) By the time you settle in, you realize your suitor already has formed a good team himself
24) The importance for you from the suitor has suddenly vanished
25) You are left shocked. Nowhere to go. Nowhere to hide. Left in the middle of nowhere
26) Now you are trying hard to cement your place in the new team
27) Your suitor though has lost interest in you and you are benched
28) The trophy. The money. Its all vanishing thick and fast
29) Your suitor just wants to get rid of you. You are still confused where it all went wrong
30) Your whole world has come down crashing
31) Those loving fans. Those awesome team mates. No one wants you back
32) You were probably greedy. You were probably just ambitious
33) But you still don't know where it all went wrong with the new team
34) You wish you know it someday
35) You wish you could set your career back all right someday
You wish you never had to see the 50 shades of a grey
As my coach always said
"In the journey of life many come and go, But there are a few whom you never want to let go"
