Manchester United defender Chris Smalling admits life at Old Trafford is very different to what he experienced two years ago with Maidstone United.
Smalling only turned pro at Fulham two years ago after being spotted playing for Maidstone.
He told manutd.com: "When I was at Maidstone I would have got up about 8.30am every day for school. We trained on Tuesdays or Thursdays in preparation for the weekend match and sometimes had a midweek game.
"I also had a part-time job at a hotel in the evenings so it was a busy time. It's strange to have gone from that to being a United player and having a lot of free time on my hands because rest is so important. You train intensely for maybe an hour-and-a-half a day, and you've also got your gym work. But when you're not training, much of the time is spent resting."
