West Bromwich Albion skipper Chris Brunt believes he's proved his doubters wrong at Middlesbrough and Rangers.
Brunt was rejected by Rangers as a boy, one of a few setbacks.
"It's about how you pick yourself up. In my early career I had a few knockbacks, even at schoolboy level. Then to be released at Middlesbrough after two-and-a-half years at the Riverside was gutting, but you've just got to get on with it," he told the Daily Mail.
"All I ever wanted was a football career. I think I've improved each season. In 20 years' time I'd like to look back at myself and say, 'I was a Premier League footballer'."
