"How much do I need to pay to save the house?" My hands were trembling as I pulled out my phone, not able to think straight. My entire career felt like it was flashing before my eyes.
Every contract, every sponsorship and documentary I had ever done worth millions of pounds felt like it had all disappeared into thin smoke. Dad had come to me and told me that the best idea for me would be to invest my money early on. I was twenty one. I didn't know a thing about investments or finances.
I trusted him to take care of it for me and he didn't even have to work hard to convince me to give him a proxy to handle them. I knew he was my father. Never did it cross my mind that he would take something I had worked so hard for.What was the point of me working hard to be the top paid rugby player when he knew by the end of my career I would have nothing to show for it? My house was everything to me. It was a symbol of my success.
