FA presidency, a throne footballers shun

The football journey takes players through gruelling moments. They do not shy away from a tackle, which in some instance spells the end of a career. Some have emerged with broken jaws and countless ruptured ligaments, which they still carry today, as undoubted evidence of their sweat and toil over the years.

There are some glorious moments too to go with the crunching tackles and the sweat. The ultimate being the trophy in the hand, endless singing in the dressing room, celebrating a well earned victory and gold medal.
