Random Stories with Brodie James

1. So, it was my Academy season with Sydney City, I'm in the plane heading over to Sydney to meet my Academy teammates (people who I don't know), I'm just thinking about the time where I won Northern Territory their first Australian State Championship. It used to be a long drive to go to those matches though, considering the fact I used to drive a Datsun 180b (610). I bought it for $50, I only had 3 instalments to go. It goes alright though, it used to outrun the coppers every time… until they got in their car. Then they catch me real quick especially when I'm going in reverse, because sometimes the gearshift got stuck. I remember that one time when I drove past Ayer's Rock going backwards. I told them what happened at that time, then they gave me $4.50.

2. It was my first season at North Shore United, I just got to the training ground, one of my teammates asked during my training "Where did you come from again?" And I said "Australia bro" and then he asked "Oh yeah, how many Kangaroos did you have in your backyard?" I then responded saying "Nah bro, I just got big rabbits." He then asked "How many times did you get bit by a Spider?" I said "I didn't get bit. There was always someone who burnt my house down before it could even get to. One time I said 'Mum, relax! Put the flamethrower down. This is could've been the 6th house in a row this year.' None of them were even deadly ones!"

This one is maybe to be continued. I have more up my sleeve.
