The dream is still alive ....
I have been given exclusive membership in the gold members group.
This card represents more than football to me, it represents just how far i have managed to come in the last 10 months of football, and the last 20 years of my life.
my dream has always been to represent England, now have can tick that box, my new dream is to captain them in the years to come ...
Profile Wednesday's
Every Wednesday I will be doing a profile of one of my team-mates, so that you can all get to know them more.
Wednesday 27th July 2011:
Wednesday 27th July 2011:
Name: Jonathan Paterson
Team: Scotland and GB
Position: Midfield
Jonathan Paterson (JP) is the Scotland seniors captain. Since I came into the squad just under a year ago, one thing has always been clear about JP, he lives, breathes and sleeps football.
He is a hard tackling, skillful central midfielder, who in my opinion boasts the best left foot in cp football.
JP was chosen to represent GB as captain in Beijing.
He has become a close friend of mine on and off the field despite playing for the old enemy, i hope one day we are able to line in up the same starting seven.

Michael Barker Englands number 7
A great resukt for Michael Barker, the former Everton player, as he continues to show why he is regarded as one of the best players in the world ...
The Merseyside youngster smashed home 11 goals during the tournament with hat-tricks against South Korea, Japan and Australia.
But England’s tournament finished in disappointing fashion with the Republic of Ireland chalking up a comfortable 5-0 win over Lyndon Lynch’s men last night.
The FA’s Head of Disability Football, Jeff Davis, commented: “It’s been a very hit and miss tournament for us in all honesty. We hit double figures twice and gave finalists, Russia, a really good game on the opening weekend but we struggled against teams on a similar level to us so that’s something we have to work on between now and the Paralympics.
“Scotland have had an excellent tournament and shown great team spirit in finishing top eight so those players will be available to Team GB and looking to be involved at London 2012.
“We’ve got plenty of Home Nation talent to look at over the coming months.”
Davis was impressed with Barker’s contribution with the 24-year-old putting himself in contention for selection at London 2012: “He’s had a fantastic tournament and has shown some real quality in front of goal.
“He’s got big competition experience having gone to Beijing in 2008 and is probably one of the best Cerebral Palsy players in the world right now. I’m sure the likes of Iran, Russia and Ukraine would love to have him in their team so Michael’s been a big positive for us.”
The tournament concludes this evening with Iran taking Russia in the final.
