Damon Brewster
I was born in a small village in the north west of England, called Tattenhall. I was a 'country' boy up until the age of eighteen. Then, I moved away from home to find adventure and... stuff. I support Liverpool FC, and England, and have had a great few years watching them win trophies in some of the greatest games ever.
'When you walk, through a storm...'
On the pitch, I was a midfield general - No 7. I can still remember every goal I've scored - all two of them. Had to hang up the boots after too many complaints from my knees (the old excuse) and my teammates.
