Tyrone Mings: From mortgage advisor to Premier League

Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings, 22, reveals how he quit his job as a mortgage advisor to become a professional footballer. But after getting injured in a trial game, his career in football was nearly over before it began.

Mings said: "I got injured about 60 minutes into the game and I was really disappointed. Luckily for me the manager, Mick McCarthy, said I'm not taking you off because I don't think you haven't done well - I'm taking you off because I want to sign you.”
