My first defining moment was signing for the Club – meeting the legendary administrator Bob Wall and being shown the Marble Halls. It changed my life. I was at Leicester City and we had an outstanding side, but it was clear the resources weren’t there to get the extra players we needed to really push on. We could only go so far.
