Another great piece by the one and only Donald McRae that I thought was worth sharing. Fawaz comes across as a really good fella, so really hopes he gets a break:

Thanks for sharing Deserter. At 32 years old time isn’t on his side but I pray he can become a success.

Already one hell of a story!

He's a positive man, looking at his training I'm not sure he has a great pro style, he'll have to be moved along quite quickly, be interesting how he does.

Glad it's resonated with you and a few others mate as his story genuinely touched me. Incredible that he's managed to stay positive in the face of all that adversity.

Ironic that he should sign for MTK I suppose. Good luck to him.
