I'm back fresh from spending a few days in Disney land with my beautiful wife and kids, and apologise for the absence of the Thursday blog but I was otherwise occupied taking my girls to see Stitch Live for the 132nd time!! I popped into the office on Sunday just to make sure everything's ok only to find a collage of Post It notes all over my desk, and scribbled messages for me to wade through and prioritise, I then turn on the computer and respond to a few of the emails before deciding to leave the rest for today and a huge caffeine boost!
It is great however to see the Legend goalkeeper gloves popping up all over the place, several of our endorsees have now selected to wear them and we are preparing for another delivery of 2010 samples which will be despatched for their feedback, so just a soon as we launch one style of glove there may well be others popping up! I went to watch some park football the other week and 3 out of the 4 goalkeepers were wearing the Legends! Yes, I know it's a bit anoraky to study what gloves the goalies are wearing but I love doing it and have tried out several brands just by introducing myself to the wearer. It's a great way to get unbiased feedback from what goalkeepers want and to also find out where sells goalkeeeper gloves.
I started my trek back to fitness this morning with a gentle jog with the dogs before calling into the office, even though it hurt like hell I'm hopeful to be able to be knocking a few balls around soon, though I am at the Physio's shortly and she may well stop me! I'm a long way of where I want to be and the pain is ridiculous at times but I keep being re-assured that it will be worth it so we'll see! I have to admit that I am desperately missing that addictive sound of the ball smacking the gloves in a perfect catch, I even sit in the office with the gloves on just handling a football, throwing it against the wall irritating the people in the adjacent room (that's also because I don't like them much!). Yes, don't worry...I will get help for my addiction one day, just not yet!
I cannot write this weeks blog without paying tribute to Robert Enke, and sending our condolences to his family. I was in the hotel room in Disney Land when I flicked over to BBC News 24 just as they announced the tragedy in their headlines, he will truly be a great loss to our unique community.
