I'd had a spectacular career. I'd won three league titles with Arsenal and played nearly fifty games for my country, over half of them as captain, but I had never been involved with a team of no-hopers before. Let me explain. After serving seven years of a ten year prison sentence I tried to get a job in football when I was released, any job. But no one would have me.

I started the search for the perfect poem a long time ago now. I was in my late teens I think. I just suddenly felt inspired by everything around me. I was fortunate that at that time I had the opportunity to live in two different countries as part of my studies.

I must have been writing something new nearly every day, as I...
