What has Deeney said on his career change?
The Birmingham-born star said: “I want to have a bit of fun, try to win a game or two, showcase how great this sport is.
“I think there’s more pressure on the other guys – they don’t want to be the one who loses to the footballer!
“That’s my mental edge. Get them to understand the pressure is on you not me.
“Some people may moan about this but then they always moan about something.
