Jamie Brown is an insignificant little person.

Dropped out of school at the age of 14 and began to mix in the streets, was used by street gangsters as a drug courier to make extra money, was sanctioned by ASBO, and when he was 17 years old, he began to work and live, with a low salary, and every day was muddy.

: Lack of money.

It's not surprising that someone like him has a few bad friends.

Stealing is also commonplace.

However, during the burglary of Aldrich's home yesterday, his role was that of the driver, and the burglary was carried out by someone else, who was responsible for picking it up.

He didn't know that it was Aldridge's home, and Millwall fans hardly knew where Aldridge lived, and Aldridge would not release such ** information to the public, and the newspapers would not publish his house number in detail, otherwise he would have to wait to receive the lawyer's letter.

When the thief arrives in a safe place and divides the spoils, Jamie shows up in a strange place.

They worked all night to pry open the safe, Aldrich's safe was not embedded in the wall, but in the study cabinet, and the volume was not too large, and it was taken away directly by the group.

When Jamie opens the box where the medal was stored, his accomplice thinks it's the gold medal, and he immediately realizes who the owner of their theft might be.

Because each medal is engraved with the year and the event.

League Cup '96, FA Cup '96, English Champions League medal '97, Champions League medal '98

Jamie's heart welled up with fear.

As long as you know which team won the honor that year, you know who these medals belong to.

Millwall!

And from '96 to last season, people who have been able to win so many medals. In fact, the range is already very small.

From 95 years. Millwall players or managers who have played so far!

Jamie guards the box when his accomplices demand a division of the medals and sell them. Cash, jewelry, watches, and other valuable things, he didn't want the same, he just wanted this box.

He also blamed his companions for not knowing the goods, and after seeing a medal that was not pure gold, he was not very interested. If they know the goods, they are willing to hide them for a few years and then sell them, and this box of medals will allow them to get a cheque for more than a million pounds.

Seeing that Jamie didn't want cash and valuables that could be cashed out, his accomplice did as he pleased, and the spoils ended.

Jamie's fear stems from his family's belief in football, and he remembers that the family has been Millwall fans since his grandfather. Maybe earlier, from grandfathers.

In his life of less than 2o years. He has nothing to be proud of, no, appearance, connotation, knowledge, technology, etc., he is inferior, and he lives at the bottom of society, others are glamorous, but he is like a stinky rat in the sewer.

But his only pride, daring to puff up his chest and say it out loud: I am a Millwall fan!

If he had told his friends, he would have told him countless times that his father, his grandfather, his family, were all Millwall fans.

Ironically, before he joined the thief ring, he fantasized about using the stolen income to buy a season ticket for Millwall next season, so that he would not have to save a month's salary to watch another Millwall game, and his salary would only be enough to meet his ability to watch only one Millwall game a month.

Fear came from this, and the object of his theft was actually the "hero" in his mind.

It wasn't until he watched the news during the day that he was sure that it wasn't Nedved, Southgate and others who had been stolen from their homes, a figure he could think of, but didn't dare to think about, that made him feel like the world was spinning.

He actually stole something that belonged to Aldrich.

Aldrich, in his heart, is no longer a character at the level of a hero, but a god!

Jamie has fantasized countless times that he can be as bold, bold, dashing, and ostentatious as Aldridge to challenge and conquer a qiē, and seven years ago, at the age of 12, he received a birthday gift from his father on his birthday: two home tickets to Millwall. It was on that day that he and his father watched Millwall knock out giants Arsenal in the cup, Aldridge beat Graham, and Aldridge's attack on Graham at the press conference, and from then on, Aldridge began to be "deified" in Jamie's heart!

"Mr. Hall, I don't know how to deal with you, you have always been the person I admire the most in my heart, I have nothing, nothing, my greatest happiness is to put on the Millwall jersey, go into the Lion King Stadium and watch my beloved Lions play in the stands, now, I don't even dare to say that I am a big fan of Millwall, maybe, prison is where I should be"

Jamie cried, very sadly.

The only faith in his heart, the only pride, was shattered by himself, as if in an instant, the only remaining glimmer of light in the entire gray world was also extinguished.

It may have been this kind of circumstance that made him come in person to make sure that what belonged to Aldrich could be returned to him, and not in other clever ways, and he was afraid, and he did not dare to think about it in case of another accident on the way.

With Aldrich's mentality, at this time he looks at Jamie, in fact, it is not much different from watching Bert and Earl, they are all children.

Just an unfortunate child with a lack of proper guidance and comfort, there are many such children in the world, and he has seen too many of them in Aldrich's perseverance in philanthropy over the past few years.

"You gave it back to me, proof that in your heart, there's something worth defending, Jamie, are you afraid?"

Aldrich asked softly.

Jamie, who couldn't stop crying, nodded vigorously, he was indeed afraid, afraid to face this qiē, and the whole incident was like a nightmare hanging over him.

When the only thing he cares about and is proud of is trampled and tarnished by himself, he is losing the meaning of his life.

Others talk about life ideals and great aspirations. That's none of his business. He is such a small person. In the middle of his life, he didn't have so many pursuits, because he didn't have the ability to pursue them.

Aldridge opened the box again and pulled out a brand new medal engraved with the words 2oo12oo2 English League Cup, the winner's medal Millwall had just won at the beginning of the month.

He handed the medal to Jamie and said softly, "Maybe you don't believe it, but I really thank you." If it weren't for you, maybe I would have lost these medals forever. You are afraid, and that's good, it's good, because, without fear, there is no courage, and only in the face of fear can courage be bred, me. And my team, scared of Arsenal. Liverpool, Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus and so on and so on, but when we were afraid of them, we chose to have the courage to beat them, that's the charm of football, that's one of the reasons why I love the sport. This medal, given to you, is my thank you gift, and I hope that it can give you the courage to change yourself, dare to dream, dare to put into action, when you are afraid, look at it, hold it, and then tell yourself that you are not afraid of a difficulty, give yourself the strongest faith and courage, overcome difficulties, you are only 19 years old, you still have 5o years, 6o years, 7o years, or even longer, don't say you should stay in prison. ”

Tearful Jamie looked down at the medal handed over by Aldrich, under the bright moonlight, the medal reflected a faint light, and in the hazy tears, the light made Jamie feel a dazzling and dazzling light.

He threw his hands up, trembling and trying to take the medal, but retreated and choked up, "Mr. Hall, I don't deserve it." ”

"There is no worthiness or unworthiness, only fear and courage, remember? I just said, you're scared right now, all you need is courage, muster courage, hold on to it. ”

Aldrich's outstretched hand still didn't retract it.

Jamie hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and held the medal in the palm of his hand like a treasure, then gently held it, closed his eyes and felt it with his heart, at this moment, as if something incredible had happened, Jamie seemed to be able to really perceive it, the trembling heart became stable, and an invisible force penetrated his whole body, making him put away his tears, and his feelings were also stable.

When he opened his eyes again, Jamie turned his head to look at Aldrich, and this time, his eyes were finally free from panic and evasion.

He saw Aldrich smiling, with tears on his face and said, "Thank you, Mr. Hall, it seems to have real magic." ”

Aldridge smiled and gave a medal to Jamie, maybe it was just a spur of the moment, but what really moved him was probably Jamie's tears, and if he hadn't loved Millwall to the extreme, he wouldn't have had such a reaction.

After staying here for many years, what Aldridge feels most deeply is the fan culture, and the die-hard fans of England have really infiltrated the football gene into the bone marrow, and derived a lot of extreme emotions.

For example, the die-hard fans of West Ham United know that they will be banned for life or still carry the flag to disrupt the game, just to declare the dignity of the Hammers, which in the rest of the world, 100% will be called crazy and crazy, but in England, no one will find it strange that extreme love and hate will lead to extreme madness.

"Jamie, have a dream, take the courage to act, what if it does come true?"

Aldrich smiled at him.

Jamie wiped his face and looked at Aldrich with a sincere gaze on his face, revealing a smile, he was ordinary-looking, but his smile was quite good-looking, because he had two dimples.

"Mr. Hall, I want to be like you."

Aldridge was stunned, shook his head and said: "No, you will never be me, just like the media used to say that I will become Ferguson, will become Paisley, will become Shankly, or Chapman, no, I am me, you, and yourself, everyone is unique." ”

Jamie hurriedly said: "No, I mean, I want to be a football coach, since I was 12 years old, I have always fantasized about one day being able to sweep all opponents like you led the Lions. ”

Aldrich raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then you should go to study, what you dream of, work hard for it." ”

Jamie looked down and said, "I don't have any money." ”

This is the reality, the reality that hinders the dreams of humanity.

Don't you need money to learn to be a coach? Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and besides, he lives, eats, sleeps, has clothes, and has all the necessities needed for life.

Aldrich is in a good mood now, and with his energy, the cost of helping others to the end is negligible.

"Jamie, if you're really determined to do it, I can give you a chance." (To be continued......)
