When I was younger a boy I knew from the Gellidaeg estate got invited down to Swansea for a weeks trial when he was 16. Never turned up. Everyone call him a waste of space, how could he pass that chance up.etc but the truth was he had no father, his mother was struggling and quite simply they couldnt afford the bus fare to get him down to Swansea every day. Hes dead now too, the drugs had him. Had he been able to go for the trial who knows how his life would have turned out.
