Can you imagine the FAI doing something similar for Roy Keane? We’re not so sure
You know how it is. You fake a tummy ache, you tell your mam the teacher is mean, you pour your Thomas the Tank Engine thermos full of Ribena all over your books. You’ll do anything to get out of going to school.
Big hard Dutch defender Jaap Stam came up with a brilliant excuse for not going to football school… and it worked.

Today it’s been announced that the Dutch FA are now going to try and develop a special coaching program just for Stam.
So he will probably get to ‘study’ while in his pj’s and in between breaks in the Dutch version of ‘Home and Away’

The Dutch FA have made individual programs before for players,most notably for Clarende Seedorf so he could finish his coaching badges while in Brazil with Botafogo.
