"I just thought, 'Why try and send a DVD to the club when it's going to get nowhere near? Why not just rock up myself and know he'd watch it?'"
"It's probably out of character for me, I'm not the most bold person but when it comes down to it I'm willing to do that, especially when it's your dream I suppose."
"Fergie wasn't actually in - he was away for the next day on a golfing trip so she said, 'Here's his number, give him a ring tomorrow. He should be back around tea-time.'"
Max Lonsdale, released by Macclesfield Town, took the initiative to create a 15-minute DVD showcasing his best performances. Instead of sending it to clubs, he decided to deliver it directly to Sir Alex Ferguson's home. Lonsdale's bold move was motivated by his passion for football and desire to further his career. After meeting Ferguson's wife, he received a phone number to contact Ferguson, who eventually invited him to present the DVD in person, demonstrating Lonsdale's determination and initiative in pursuing his dream.
