Guess what?

Today I received a letter from the Perth Glory Youth Academy (Perth Glory is Australia's most succesful club of recent years having won 4 of the last 6 Australian NSL titles and are also the richest and most influential club in oceania) offering me a scholorship! :cool:

I have the opportunity to play for their youth team and potentially play proffesional football! How cool is this...

but it doesn't stop there....

I also received two more offers this week

1. Qld Lions, Brisbane's representitve in the new A-League and a top club for young players

and 2. the Australian Institute of Sport.

How awesome is that? Obviously you wouldn't know much about any of those 3 associations and your opinion wont have much effect on my eventual decision but which of the 3 do you guys think I should go with?

So what you are saying they are on a par with Accrington Stanley

Best of luck to you. That's brilliant news.

Did Harry Kewell play for any of them as a young lad?

Nah, Perth Glory is more like the modern day Leeds or Leiscter (now that they is relegated) only richer... and not 50 millions squids in debt. Qld Lions is good for young players only 'cause they have no cash. AIS is where all the big Australian athletes started out inc. footballers like Kewell, Bresciano and Viduka... course I'm getting ahead of myself...

Johnny I have been looking for someone to blame for Harrys sh.ite performances, since he joined us :angry:

Thanks for the well wishers fellas I actually have to make a decision within 3 weeks because after that I actually leave to join whichever one I pick. Who knows maybe (albeit extremely unlikely) you'll see me in a red's shirt

But hopefully Liverpool will always be good enough to not need me :;):

Yeah, all I gotta do is play one good season then leave the club and watch them get relegated and POW I've got the cash

Go for the Australian Institute of Sport...they have a great track record for producing excellent sportsmen and women.

Well done SB 42 remember who ya friends where when your rich an famous ahem

starbridge, well done mate. Since you live in QLD then the Lions may be a good choice for you, but the AIS has brought up players like Viduka etc and their facilities and coaching is excellent. I did a tour of the AIS in Canberra last year and was quite impressed.
