Corey Addai hopes to be the local boy who has been done even better after he has already become the one who has become good, although it means heartache at his door.

To say that the 6ft 8ins stop is known on well -known turf Leyton OrienT plays the under-being parents living just two and a half miles away in Hackney and large partner Thomas Jordan is an OS-Supporter.

Listen to many and that town is a depreciation rough, ravaged by the crime, a place where nobody predicts.

But addai is a strong supporter of ‘life is what you make of it’ and the tattoo on his arm of Martin Luther King ‘S ‘Ultimate Mate of a Man’ Speech ensures that he does not falter.

He said, giving door-to-door directions from Leyton Orient to Home: “It is not who you are in a handy situation, it is who you are in controversy. That is the real you. It is on my arm and I live and die through that quote.

“Can you be the same person? It’s about being humility and friendly and being caring for yourself and other people. If you can give if you have nothing, tells you the kind of person you are.

“As a young black boy from London, you come across many situations and things that you see.

“I could say so much about growing up in London and what I have seen, but I am now in a position where I no longer have to see that.

“At the start of the season we did something called ‘Six Pitches’ about why you play football – I put the London Borough or Hackney because I don’t want people to see where I come from when this bad place.

‘Google Hackney and it will say:’ The worst place, the top five worst places in London in Londve. ‘That is not what Hackney is, it is my home and I want to represent it in the best possible way.

“Also my friends and family and say: ‘This is what we are. This is what we can achieve if things are done well.

” Live in the right way. Do the right things. Work hard. “In the end, that’s what brought me into this position. “You have the chance to leave here, so go and do it.” That is what I represent.

“But what do I have to do to have humility, do the right things and see well in people? That’s how I want to live my life.”

Addai is the biggest thing in the way of Orient in this play-off semi-final and is used to success after he is part of Crawley’s League Two Triumph last season.

Life in Stockport started waving for the 27-year-old when he noticed that he had fallen for Ben Hinchliffe before the latter’s injury saw him and bloom.

But given the caliber of teammate he had in ArsenalThe junior ranks, it’s no surprise to see him do well.

He might try to simulate another heroes, Thierry Henry.

The Gunners fan told Sunsport: “That team was incredible. Ebereechi Played in it – but I can’t remember if he has taken punishments, as he does now!

“He is the biggest star that has come through and I still speak with him.

“I am friends with his family. He is a great person and I am so proud to see where he is where he comes from.

“But as Arsenal fan, Thierry Henry is the best player who has ever seen the Premier League and how he behaves now, now makes him someone you want to be.

“If someone goes unbeaten the season, they can have words with me. Until then I don’t want to hear anything!”
