As I mentioned above plenty of lads find the time to play semi pro and still undertake full time education. Christ if it takes you 6 years to qualify on £400 a week part time rather than 4 fulltime on a grant then most students would bite your sausage off.
I'm not sure what you're getting at Dazza? I thought he was going to play part-time so that he could pursue full-time education? It sort of hints that he couldn't do that whilst playing as a full-time professional.
That's how I read it anyway.
If he doesn't think he can make what is a short footballing career work for him, then fair play on going to get educated. I bet there are a lot of young players who have drifted into the non-leagues who wished they'd done the same thing.
He also hasn't ruled out going back to full-time football at some point if he thinks it's worth it. The whole thing seems pretty sensible to me. Although to be honest, I've never really dreamed of being a footballer. Well I have sort of, but it was never a realistic dream. I mean I'm a fucking brilliant keeper but all you fans would complain when I went off drinking.
