It was in prison that Mike earns his PT qualification and he is now able to help the likes of Sancho, who is Dortmund's top scorer this season in the Bundesliga.

"the sky is The Limit with Jadon," says Mike. "He is amazing and he is such a good guy. It is still mad that The Boys don ' T judge me, the [in prison], and this is a good example of motivated me for you. "

And his help is not limited to training.

"I also close protection. If the young boys go on a Night Out or a holiday they ask me to come," he chuckles. "I'm just rolling with them like a Big Brother , you feel comfortable around me. It's fun and I get some free holidays!"

Mike says the biggest thing he learned, his Time In prison, keeps his positivity Intact to cope with Something that has also helped him with the coronavirus lockdown.

"I was young and naive. I would have gone and done it [to The Meeting ] if I knew the consequences? Of course not, but it happened. I have just grow to be and help others not go in the same direction as I did. "

What other support there is for young players?

"Almost every Premier League club has a dedicated player Liaison Officer (PLO) now," explains Lorna McClelland, The Pioneer behind The Role , which she held at Aston Villa for 14 years.
