Following the almighty star in the sky!
After the Olympics, I left Ivory Coast under 13's as there would be no competitive football for a long while. A job offer had been waiting for me for awhile, with Free State Stars... An African 1st tier side based in Bethlehem. Don't get to excited, it isn't where Jesus was born. Either way I followed the hidden star in the sky to Bethlehem.
I arrived at the Bethlehem airport a week before the season, I got a taxi over to Goble Park. I was taking through a long narrow corridor to Mike Mokoena's office.
Mokoena- Hello Mr Williamson. We would like to welcome you to this great club to replace, my son as manager.
Me- Yes, I would love the chance to work in the African League. It all comes down to how much you are offering.
Mokoena- How about £2.2k for 3 season!?
Me- Yes, that would be great actually. Em, do you know if there is any where nearby for me to stay? Like live?
Mokoena- There is a very very nice place a couple of roads away from here would you like me to get someone to take you and look at it?
Me- Yeah, that would be great. What way did your son.. Why did you sack your son?
Mokoena- It isn't that he was sacked it was more that I terminated his contract as club manager so, he could help me as chairman. He is currently away with his wife.
Ah, I thought it was quite weird someone sacking there son.. Anyway I went to see my -what would be- my new house.
