'Why I decided to tell people that Manchester is about much more than just football'

This time last week, I was sunning it up in Florida spending my birthday with Mickey Mouse. Now I'm writing this from my Trafford flat while I look out to the balcony being splatted with hail stones. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

During my time in the 'Sunshine State', I spoke with a number of Americans, who initially had a bit of difficulty figuring out where in the UK I was from. As I’ve previously discussed, I’m from Burnage, but do not possess the same thick south ‘Manchestoh’ accent that the Gallagher brothers have and that many people around the world now recognise.

Whether that’s a blessing or a curse, I’ll let you decide for yourselves.
