Linvoy Primus - Transformed

Product Information

In the second game of the 1994–95 season against Leyton Orient, Primus made his debut as a substitute coming on for the injured Mark Newson. The following season saw Primus remain a regular member of the Portsmouth team under first Redknapp and then both his successors, Velimir Zajec and Alain Perrin. Everything I did, all the decisions I made were geared towards my ambition of success and fame through football.

Primus also agreed to take on an ambassadorial and advisory role to help guide emerging talent at Portsmouth, as well as a playing role. Finally he talks about how his Christian faith impacted how he looked at his career and how it affected the way he played. It was later revealed that Clemence was told by his assistant, Terry Harvey, that he should sign him immediately: "Get in now and sign him, if he goes down to Cardiff and sees their stadium he will sign for them. After the operation, Primus commented "The difference between success and failure is what you do afterwards in your rehabilitation, not necessarily the actual operation. Primus credits his renaissance to his conversion to Christianity after a friend of his wife's invited him to church.

Having travelled to Africa and India to visit orphanages and hospitals, seeing abandoned, orphaned or disabled children living in such poverty makes you appreciate the things we take for granted, even merely having a roof over your head.

Despite the previous season's heroics, Primus was not used regularly in the early part of Portsmouth's first Premier League season. He was also involved in supporting the Alpha course, which is run all over the world, and is designed to explain Christian beliefs and promote discussion. He was due to play in a crucial match against Derby County, however the match was postponed by Sky until after the expiration of his loan; Primus' loan had to be rearranged and a deal was agreed by both clubs for the loan to expire after the match against Derby. At last I knew what real peace in my life was and my whole attitude to football and people changed as God changed me on the inside.Primus was born the first child of Newton and Pauline Primus in Forest Gate Hospital, Forest Gate, Greater London on 14 September 1973. Linvoy released his autobiography in 2007 entitled “Transformed” and as well as being joint founder is actively involved with the Christian Charity “Faith and Football”.

Primus was promised an improved contract, however no such contract was given to him over the summer. His next appearance for Barnet, against Scarborough, was described as the "worst performance of [his] career" in his autobiography. It was more about the people, doing the right things and I spoke to Marieanne (Spacey-Cale, manager) a couple of times and always had good conversations and I’ve heard great things about the team, about the club, the staff, everyone.

Due to an injury crisis, Reading lost their penultimate league match at Nottingham Forest and were relegated from Division One. The 2006–07 season was the last injury-free season for Primus as a career-threatening knee injury meant he would not make an appearance the following season. Linvoy Primus played professional football for 16 years including nine years for Portsmouth where he became a cult hero.
