Gary Rutland has been living in Thailand since 2010. A lifelong sad Hammers fan he had trials with them, Clapton, Southend Utd and Farense before realising he wasn’t good enough for any of them. His coaching career was a little more successful, but not much. A music nut and failed punk rocker he currently blogs about books, balls and bands, contributes to Bangkok101 Magazine and the Montreal based music site Rreverb.com and hopes one day to grow up.
