It's Bamford Time - Bamford13 - 2024-09-23
Bamford steps up to kick the possible game winning penalty of the champions league finals. He takes a small hop, the keeper dives to the left, so Bamford chips it to the right. He heads to the corner flag and makes the hand signal, he jumps up and hits the iconic celebrations. The whole crowd does it with him “SUIIIIIIIIII”
Then his mom walks out of the kitchen
“Baba, why are you playing around in the living room again? You’re going to be a doctor. Doctor. Not a soccer player,” she says while flailing her hands around.
Jordan turns around and heads back to his desk and starts studying. Eventually, with the moon in the middle of the sky, Bamford’s done. He puts his head down on his textbook and pulls out his phone. He opens TikTok and checks his account, almost 40k followers, his new long ball highlight video’s doing especially well. He notices he has a DM, that can’t be, he turned them off for unverified accounts. He clicks it and sees a life changing message
“Hey Jordan, we’d like to invite you to the Sydney City academy team”
This is it, this is what the grind’s been for. Bamford empties his savings to get the soonest plane ticket, says bye to his parents and he’s gone. It’s time for him to show the world who he is.
