I have worked hard to turn my life around and grown so much as a person,&#8217; he wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I have the most amazing friends and family who have supported me throughout. Whilst in prison, I could find myself again, but I had to go through so much to see it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I lost my Dad to suicide while in prison, and I also became a father again. I have recently become a Grandad, and I have now moved to a new home and have all my children back where they belong. My business is growing, and my football club has gone from strength to strength.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I know some people will never forgive me, and I am an easy target for those who cannot debate football and find it easier to throw insults at me. But I am never going to let them affect my life.

You cannot fake it. You cannot pretend. It was raw, genuine emotions. Unlike others you see today. Here&#8217;s to the next year and growing further, rebuilding my life and being happy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I want to work with prisoners and help them change their lives so they don&#8217;t go back. If I can help one person, then that&#8217;s a start. Who knows, maybe Arsenal can even win the league for me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Thank you to all who are continuing this journey with me. I won&#8217;t ever forget it. As one of my children said, sometimes good people make mistakes, but it doesn&#8217;t mean they are a bad person.

He then proceeded to photograph her in a state of undress.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Goodenough dragged the victim out of the hotel room to his car, suggesting he had a knife and that her son was in the vehicle. However, when she realised that her son was not in the car she tried to escape.
