I'm guessing the fact I'm currently sat writing this blog and not having my name blasting through the speakers at a Premier League Stadium means not only did my journey through the football pyramid peter out, but you also won't know who I am.
My name is Jamie Bareham, and I used to be a professional footballer.
Now, the term 'professional footballer' is thrown around by Sunday League left-backs who tie their hair up and put it in their Tinder bios for more matches.
But when I say 'professional footballer' the statement is true.
Between the ages of 7-14 I used to play for Brighton and Hove Albion FC (that club in the Premier League) before I was eventually let go.
Since then, I've played for Bostik Premier League side Burgess Hill, starting in first team games at the age of 16, as well as playing in Premier League stadiums such as St Mary's and Fratton Park.
I've been featured in YouTube videos with over 1.2 million views and 170k views respectively,
As well as playing regularly in County leagues across the UK until eventually moving to Bournemouth in 2017 for University.
And that's where we're up to now. Currently studying Multimedia Journalism, I want to bring my journey to life by taking you through my experiences as a footballer in my 15 years of playing.
So join me, as we journey through The Football Pyramid.
