day seventeen

Most of the lads had a long lie in after the excitement of yesterday.

The boys showed their appreciation by representing Duncan MacIntyre with a signed framed MFS

shirt which was received by Duncan who was emotional as he has become very fond of the boys

over the past two Tours.

Shopping was to unwind the boys with a trip to the city centre followed by a night at the movies – a

very scary night with the film ‘Paranormal Activity’ chosen by the squad. They have spent most of

the night staying up telling each other ghost stories so tomorrow’s flight back to Australia should see

them sleeping all the way home.

Message from the Scottish No2 to the “Stars” of Melbourne Football Stars.

Greetings good friends in warmer climates.

This is a letter from a land that you have just travelled. Looking back at the tour 2009 I will have

many fond memories which will live with me for a long time. One memory however that I would

have liked to pass on to the players before I left the tour was your behaviour.

For young adults at your stage of life and maturity how you conducted yourselves on the tour was

amazing. You should all be very proud of how you represented your nation as should your parents.

You have left the country but lots of people are still talking about Melbourne Football Stars and we

all await the return of the next crop of young Melbourne football stars with much anticipation.

I wish you all the very best in whatever challenges that you now face in your quest for Soccer

stardom. I hope that you enjoyed “Experiencing the Dream” I know I did.

A massive thank you also goes out to George for your encouragement and friendship. I can’t wait to

being involved again next year.

I look forward to seeing some of you again next year.

All the best for the future.

Steven Adam
