I am here for the players.
Football captures the hearts and minds of millions of people around the world. Dedication to their team takes people on amazing journeys from breathtaking highs to agonising lows - sometimes all within a gruelling, invigorating and exhausting 90 minutes of play! The quest for a moment of glory, the ‘I was there’ moment and the ‘limbs’ is woven into our lives.
And, at the heart of this most extraordinary of shows are the players. Those who we ask again and again and again to give everything they have for the badge we love. Those who we ask to give blood sweat and tears for the glory we crave.
The players. The Pro’s. The warriors of this show. So dedicated to their calling they’ve been sharpening their skills since they were in primary school. Year after year of sacrifice to have a shot at the dream. Enduring late nights in cars, long away trips, missing school, missing family, injury, recovery, injury again, recovery again. Football isn’t what they do, it is who they are. Pushing their mind and body to the extreme day after day after day to be the best of the best. The tip of the iceberg, the 1% of the 1%!
Players. This is all for you.
