second chance You could say it is bigger for me than for anyone. The game against Bahrain will be only my third for New Zealand, after the first leg and a friendly. I thought my chance to play in a big tournament had gone because after moving to Barnsley from New Zealand when I was 15, I played for England from Under 17s to Under 20s. Club call: Fallon in action for Plymouth The squads I was in included players such as Jermain Defoe, Jermaine Pennant, Jay Bothroyd and Kevin Nolan, but the rules then meant I was disqualified from playing for New Zealand. It wasn't a problem at first. I wanted to concentrate on my club career and managers hate you going to play a friendly when you don't need to travel all that way. I started at Barnsley, after a coaching friend of my dad's alerted them, and moved to Swindon and Swansea before joining Plymouth in 2007, but as I have got older I started to think I had made a mistake. A few of my mates were going to the Confederations Cup and playing against teams like Brazil and I felt like I was missing out. When Tim Cahill got FIFA to change their rules I was still too old to switch back to New Zealand, but they have altered them again since and now I could be going to the World Cup finals.
