Whether your employment is at a high level club or your favorite local fast food restaurant, it's all the same. Everyone is replaceable regardless of your position as an executive, player or janitor as they have a business/bottom line to protect! So, it shouldn't be a part of your identity. You should have a personal brand separate from your employer. I'm glad he learned that.
Never give up Andy, you'll never walk alone. ❤
He had to walk alone while being let go by the you never walk alone people 💀
😂😂😂
They released him 😅
@@tonymontana9302🤣
@@tonymontana9302 yeah because that's how every pro sport works. Can't just keep you around because you are a nice guy. All premier league teams have an acadamey and the sad fact is 99% of them don't make it.
What a condescending comment lol
He's still in his early 20s. He has a long way to go. Getting released by a big club isn't the end of the road.
Jamie Vardy should be the inspiration of every footballer who doesn't make it big in the early parts of their careers.
Long as he doesn’t bash a club he’ll be fine and get another opportunity
Ian Wright too
pfft Vardy is a one in a million. factually big clubs have databases of young players, they know everything from average yards covered to pass completion per game across all the leagues. Sometimes players are not good enough, they don't develop, they peak and do not improve, sometimes its mentality. Its sad, but that's how it goes. Good luck to the lad, we all wanted to be a footballer we also where not good enough, its ok.. you are still a good human with lots of other qualities than kicking a ball. good luck!

Honestly this is part of the problem. Such few kids can make a professional career in football compared to how many are trying. Managing expectations is very important.
appreciate all the love and support everyone. God bless 🙏🏾🌍❤️
Professional sport is a short life. You always have to think about getting a skill to fall back on. Be smart with your money, invest your money and in yourself, and check your ego.
Good luck, bro!
Keep going brother and don’t stop. Your journey is just a little different than what you thought.
Your best days are still ahead of you that's 100% true
Ynwa
Good luck Andy come play in India
The maturity at that age is respectable. Keep going, there are thousands waiting to see you on the big stage.
The brutal side of football, always best to be realistic about a plan B. Whatever happens, don’t feel like you failed
facts
"The path illuminates as you walk it". keep going
Keep battling dude,
Keep dreaming big,
Keep training hard,
And never ever give up or doubt yourself ❤
You are going to achieve your dreams Andy, Go on! YNWA
hmm you have to be realistic
Bro I can relate so much! Got my first professional deal at 17 was absolutely flying at the time, turned 19 then got injured. Released just like that lucky to have a supportive family who helped me through it, now playing semi professional level and selling cars full time. I learnt to brush myself down focus on the present and focus on making the most of my plan b my back up plan. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, I wish you all the best 👊🏽
I feel for all those young academy players, who just come up short. We've all had dreams, but to be that close and then be rejected, must be hard to take.
Andy, that was uplifting. You have the right attitude to go far in whatever path you choose to travel on.
Hi Andy, I can see in your eyes you are understanding much more than most about why we are here.
We learn by how we meet and reframe the obstacles we face, that's the deal.
Some sit down and never stand up again, others walk with the knowledge that it is all a game and we have to understand we are living it in order to gain life experience.
It doesn't always feel fair, but you chose your journey in order to find out more about who you are and what value there is in learning how to live in the moment.
All is as it should be my friend it is what you make of it.
Walk tall you already have the answers and the ability to go far and to help others.
It is true you'll never walk alone. We never do.
Let go of the story you thought was yours and what you expected to be your path. I don't sense a sadness in you, why is that? Is it because you already know that you will be ok.
Be in the present how does it feel. You have come so far already trust yourself you doing great.
Keep telling your story. Be ready for the next adventure. Keep smiling.
"All is as it should be" means saying there are no injustices in life, which is a bonkers thing to say in the radically unjust world of 2024.
Depends what you view your life lessons to be. @@SvalbardSleeperDistrict
@@angelabruce9754 None of my individual "life lessons" change anything about systemic injustices and inequalities around the world.
@@angelabruce9754 My "life lessons" make no difference whatsoever to the existence of systemic injustices and inequalities around the world.
Love this guy's perspective. His upbringing has clearly prepared him for the realities of life. I wish him the best of luck.
Boss this Andy, well done on the positive outlook and being at peace with it all. Keep smashing life!
Really inspirational. "The path illuminates as you walk it" is such a powerful saying, wishing you all the best man.
Keep going mate. You are making your parents proud and doing right by yourself. Congrats. Never give up 💪
Lots of lads get let go football is brutal but if you just enjoy your football at what level you play then you won’t have regrets. Just enjoy football mate because once you can’t play anymore it’s not great you will miss it
Keep up the grind brother!! Great video
Big up Andy! Never give up! Holding on to your dream is an important fiber of life. As you said there will be lows and highs in life but they don't define you, how you learn from them does. I wish you success on your journey my Red. YNWA
what a guy man I genuinely wish him only the best🙌
💯💯🫡
Stumbled across this... interesting insight and a brilliant representation of yourself mate, keep looking forward and good luck...!
What a grounded young man! Very mature mindset for such a young age, keep striving and don’t ever let the lows define you!
What a lovely bloke, best wishes from a retired English man in Thailand 💪
What an inspiring story..sometimes life doesn't turn out how we want or think it should...time to rewrite your own story . Good luck x
No matter what YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE BRO ❤ don't lose the hope! Your spirit makes me go through my tough day and feel strong
Keep doing your thing, young man, and let God guide you always 🙏🏾
Brilliant watch. Not too long and informative, subbed
And there he goes Andy KANGAAAAAAAAAA GOAAALLLL!!!!!
You are helping lots of people with their careers inside and outside of football, please continue.
Keep going mate. You're super inspiring to all. Love and light. 👊
Never give up bro, “I know the plans I have for you declared the lord. Plans to prosper you and not harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future🙏🏾.
I'm sure when you graduate from Loughborough, with your background in top level football, you will be able to make a great career for yourself outside of the game. Keep up the good work.
He is still playing
All the best Bro and hope it all works out for you. For every Trent AA, there are many many more stories of people who catch a wrong break and bad luck at the wrong time, and their future is wiped. It's super competitive at the top and the system only works the very few winners.
Your strength of character will shine through. Stay strong, young man 💪🏽
He's in the same division as my hometown club Bromsgrove, there's tonnes of talent at that level, a million different stories & lots of them still only half written, keep going Andy ynwa
He looks like a footballer. Solid build. Keep pushing bro
Stay strong Andy, and believe in yourself.
For such a young man you are an inspiration ❤❤❤
Liverpool saw something to have you on their books. Keep going.
Ynwa Andy, work hard and possibly the chance will come knocking
Man United fan here, good luck. All the best.
Randomly came across this channel. Glad I did, like you said “Best days are ahead of you” ✊🏾
love the quality of the video. Fire camera!
Keep your head up and keep going. Do your thing, everything will work out for you . Promise.
U need contacts with right people that can give u options,advice and trial oppoturnities..pro football world need alot of 'in touch' with connected people..scouts,agents,ex-players,ex-teammates,media peeps,back staffs,etc..bounce back n propel ur way with right direction that suit with ur career and life
With that attitude you'll go far, very very far. YNWA mate.
All the best for the future. Dont give up. YNWA
God Bless, keep fighting.
Your Mum and Dad should be very proud of you, they have made you into a fine young man with a great attitude and positivity that's going to get you to where you want to be I'm sure. Most of all be happy!
Keep doing what you're doing mate. YNWA.
Keep up, I wish you all the best!
Keep Going Sir🙏
Sad story but unfortunately these kind of injuries happen in construction all the time not even just construction but a lot of industries and that’s what football is an industry when your employees have finished with you it’s “good bye “💚
Absolutely wish you the best.
Martinelli played in brazilian division 4 before he was snapped up by Arsenal. You never know
Really? Didn’t know that
@@thugger3794 Yup played for Ituano in Brazil
Martinelli had trial at man utd before getting him from Brazil to arsenal
Thats true but he moved from a 1st division team to play for them because his family moved. So its not really the same it was by choice.
@@joshafc41Hulk was play in Japan 2nd division , Eder italy was play in Serie C , Ronald Araujo Uruguay 2nd division , Frank acheampong Thailand , 1st division . Try smaller Club , play well , get snapped by bigger Club .
Good luck bro 👊🏻 don’t give up
get this brother on hashtag and hopefully he can shine
w kanga for doing this fr
YNWA Andy, keep going, keep trying for the game you love. Might not make it here, but you will make it elsewhere, in football or in another field of life. Good luck
The saudi league is building up quickly and they pay well from what im hearing. Talk to your agent or make some moves. I a liverpool fan wish you success and I hope you can come back and finish your playing days in liverpool.
the saudi league are signing big name players to boost the leagues image mate they're not signing random nobodies
Bro you are young . You can still play man never give up
Keep going, ynwa
Same here, started football when i was 5 and from then on that was all i ever did, football everyday, watching football, playing manager games, my knowledge at that time was so deep.
I was never injured and then when i was 17 I was about to get a shot in the first team for a local semi pro club when i twisted my knee and from then on it healed but was never the same after that so I had to quit football, im 34 now and I still think about what if... :(
MUCH LOVE FROM NAMIBIA!❤
there are so many places to play the beautiful game, cherish it
🇨🇮thank you brother, keep going 🙏🏽
Love my brother, nipsey huddle said the ones who make it are the ones who never stopped no matter wha, if you can give 1% today and 89% tomorrow it’s all good!! God bless you never stop
Keep on moving straight ahead
What people don’t realize when they say “why are footballers paid loads of money to kick a ball around” what they don’t realize is for every 1 great player , there are millions who didn’t make it. Keep your head up 👍🏽
Love his mental strength
Blessings from Jamaica 🇯🇲
Hi , can u please tell me what the song at the end of the video please , its beautiful ?

Hi,tears R not the sign of being unstable , remember without empathy you have nothing , good luck❤.
@@newroundheadcommandos2589
Thank you, nice words...
Very inspirational bro

You have that twinkle in your eye. You are destined for greatness.
Weldone Andy you got this. God got u. Seek after God He does wonders
Chin up Andy! I wish u all the best. If u want or can, maybe do some trials in South East Asia down here. Maybe a bit carefull if u try to come here with an agent u havent trust but I think it worth to try. Anyway, good luck young man!.
Keep at it brudda, wishing you the best as you reach your goals in one way or another.

The path illuminates as u walk it...BARZ 🥳
Keep going bro. YNWA
Dude looks like he’s made it, as a Minecraft character
Wishing you luck happyness and good health
Looking forward to seeing you wearing RED again mate
Andy, is my frist time heard about you but as a liverpool since 20+ years ago. Remember its a compatitive and performance base sports no matter what You'll never walk alone!! ❤
Never give up, if Mpanzu can do it, you can as well
Nice one
You're judged over a long period when in an academy, the door closes on a high percentage of trainee's.
Football is a ruthless sport, what happens off the pitch is just as important to what happens on it.
You’ll never walk alone!
Look at Ian Wright, he went for trials at nearly every london club without getting a call back until he got a break with palace
The music got it feeling like a chicagoscene88 video
I support you. Just subcribed to you Andy. YNWA
why to make background music so loud?
Don't give up...
Try to get in contact with the Ivorien Federation,
Maybe their is another route to Your goals, You still Young
Keep at it. #YNWA
Their is Much more for You Out there
Hey Andy, you are an amazing young man. Thanks for showing us this side of football in doing so I am sure you will be helping many others to cope with the pressures that the beautiful game can bring.
