Forever Young

by Oliver Kay

Adrian Doherty was not a typical footballer. For one thing, the quiet, determined boy from Northern Ireland was blessed with extraordinary talent. Those who played alongside and watched him in the Manchester United youth team in the early 1990s insist he was as good as Ryan Giggs - possibly even better. Giggs, who played on the opposite wing, says he is inclined to agree.

Doherty was also an eccentric - by football standards, at least. When his colleagues went to Old Trafford to watch the first team on Saturday afternoons, he preferred to take the bus into Manchester

Skvelej a hodne netypicky fotbalovy zivotopis. Adrian Doherty byl kluk, co byl v 16ti lepsi nez Ryan Giggs a tesne predtim, nez mel debutovat v Manchesteru United, pretrhal si krizove vazy v koleni. Coz v tom roce 90 bylo zraneni, ktere ukoncovalo karieru. A to se bohuzel stalo i jemu.

Ale jemu to vlastne ani nevadilo. Vic ho zajimala hudba a poezie. Zatimco jeho spoluhraci chodili sledovat zapasy A tymu, on sel pred Old Trafford, sve listky dal nekomu v davu a s kytarou vyrazil do centra Manchesteru hrat na chodniku pred obchodakem. :-)) Takze i k tomu, ze se nekonala hvezdna kariera ve fotbale se vyjadroval stylem: no co, jsou i jine veci v zivote...

Vtipny, vesely, chvilema hodne smutny a dojemny pribeh bohema s obrovskym talentem a bohuzel i obrovskou porci smuly...
