Advice Quote by Paul Mullin

“When you are a kid you think you are going to play for Liverpool but my mum and dad always did try and warn me that things could go wrong. There were times when I could've moved on to other clubs before I eventually got released and chose not to against my mum and dad's advice.” quote by Paul Mullin
