JASON CONNOLLY - THE LEGACY CONTINUES…...

"Aren't you Jason Connolly?" Asked an unknown English voice in the midst of foreign accents.
"Na mate, you must have got the wrong person." I retort.
"But you look really, really…"
"I told you I'm not him, now PISS OFF!" I snap, cutting him off mid sentence.
The rest of the cafe turned and stared in my direction as I made a swift exit.
Is this what I've become? A lonely,grumpy bastard supping a latte in Starbucks?
I was in Nice, on the South Coast of France - my new home.
I was Jason Connolly, Aston Villa manager who was winning trophy after trophy, accolade after accolade. We were top of the Premier League and unbeaten - looking set to bring the title back to Villa Park for the first time in over 30 years.
Then one night, it all changed. I disappeared without reason, and now I'm back to tell my story.
Some of you may remember me from FM Scout stories such as 'The Lions of Aston Villa - Becoming Kings of The Jungle Once More. Some of you may be reading, thinking, what is this guy on about…. Either way, fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride.
