As a talented young footballer growing up on the outskirts of Birmingham, a sweat-drenched Kemar Roofe would occasionally raise his head from the ball to survey the scene at his local park. He'd see pals having a friendly kickabout or racing around on their bikes. For him, life was already very different. Even in his formative years,was already"business".
With Roofe, it's never been a question of talent. From the moment he arrived in Govan he's looked comfortable as a Rangers player. Intelligent, aggressive, tough on the field and capable of the truly spectacular, the problem has been getting him fit enough to show it. "I am feeling as good as I have in a long time," he said."My body is finally working. I can do stuff that I couldn’t do before. A lot of the time I was using desire to get myself through games and through training. I would tell coaches and physios that I was fine when I was probably not. That’s just how I am, I want to play. Now I can finally wake up and think, ‘yeah, I feel good now’.
At 30, a fully fit, free from pain and mentally focused Roofe should be a huge asset for the years to come. His contract is up at the end of the year. Is that a motivator to show what he can do and secure his future?"For me, and it’s a cliché but the next game is always in my head. Can I win in the next game? Can I score or create? That's all I care about. If I do that the rest will take care of itself.
