Miles James Storey (born 4 January 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays for Aberdeen as a forward.

Career

Swindon Town

Storey was born in West Bromwich and started his football education with Wolverhampton Wanderers but was released and whilst playing for Sedgeley Lions under 15s in Division 3 – was spotted by Mick Elliott MBE who was the head of recruitment at Coventry City. He signed for Coventry City but after one full season was not offered a scholarship and was released. Again without a club, Elliott took Storey to Swindon Town for a trial game where he impressed the coaches and was handed a two-year scholarship. During his first season as a scholar at Swindon, he impressed and helped Paul Bodin’s youth side to win their third successive season.

After Swindon Town manager Paul Hart was dismissed as manager in April 2011, Storey’s coach Paul Bodin was immediately installed as caretaker boss. Bodin immediately brought Storey into the first team set-up for the club’s home fixture against Oldham Athletic. He made his debut as a 78th minute substitute, replacing on-loan forward Calvin Andrew in a 0–2 loss.

On 30 October 2012, Storey scored twice against Premier League side Aston Villa in the League Cup, to level the score at 2–2, before Christian Benteke scored a late winner to send Aston Villa through 3–2.

On 6 May 2013, Storey missed a penalty in a shoot-out in the play-off semi-final against Brentford, as Swindon lost 5–4 on penalties, after the tie had finished 4–4 on aggregate. He was handed his first start on 10 August, and provided an assist for the game’s winner against Stevenage.

On 5 October 2013, it was announced that Storey had joined Conference Premier side Salisbury City on a month’s loan deal. He made his debut on the same day in a 2–1 win against Wrexham.

On 21 December, Storey returned to first team action for The Robins, and after coming off the bench in the 71st minute to replace Ryan Harley in a Football League One home clash against his former side Coventry City, he scored the winner 15 minutes later.

On 14 February 2014, Storey joined fellow League One side Shrewsbury Town in a one-month loan. On 10 July, he moved to League Two side Portsmouth, also in a temporary deal.

On 30 January 2015 Storey joined Newport County on an initial one-month loan. He made his debut for Newport on 31 January versus Shrewsbury Town as a second-half substitute. The loan was subsequently extended to the end of the 2014–15 season. He scored his first goal for Newport on 28 February 2015 in a 1–0 win against Burton Albion.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle (Loan)

Storey joined Scottish Premiership club Inverness Caledonian Thistle during the summer transfer window on loan until January. He scored his first goal for the club on his debut against Heart of Midlothian in a 2–0 victory. His contract was extended to last until the end of the season, there were some issues with John Hughes trying to get contact with Swindon chairman and former team-mate Lee Power to extend Storey’s contract as it was to end after a cup match against Stirling Albion.

Aberdeen

On 17 May 2016, Storey agreed to join Aberdeen when his contract with Swindon expired in the summer of 2016. He scored his first goal for Aberdeen on 20 August 2016, in a 2–1 win against Partick Thistle.

International career

On 13 November 2012, Storey made his England under-19 debut in a 1–0 win against Finland.

Michael Ovitz’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Michael Ovitz Net Worth and salary: Michael Ovitz is an American talent agent who has a net worth of $500 million. Michael Ovitz was born December 14, 1946 in Chicago, Illinois. Ovitz is best known as the co-founder of Creative Artists Agency (CAA) in 1975 where he served as chairman until 1995. Ovitz became known as the most powerful man in Hollywood. He later served as president of the Walt Disney Company between 1995 and 1997. Ovitz founded CAA with fellow William Morris Agents Ron Meyer, Bill Haber, Rowland Perkins and Mike Rosenfeld. Borrowing only $21,000 from a bank, the agents rented a small office, conducting business on card tables and rented chairs, their wives taking turns as agency receptionist. Under Orvitz’ direction, CAA quickly grew from a start-up organization to the world’s leading talent agency, expanding from television into film, investment banking and even advertising. Ovitz was known for assembling “package deals”, wherein CAA would utilize its talent base to provide directors, actors and screenwriters to a studio, thus shifting the negotiating leverage from the studios to the talent. Ovitz has served as talent agent to such Hollywood heavy-hitters as Tom Cruise, Dustin Hoffman, Kevin Costner, Michael Douglas, Bill Murray, Sylvester Stallone and Barbra Streisand, as well as directors Steven Spielberg, Barry Levinson, and Sydney Pollack. He also provided corporate consulting services, helping negotiate several major international business mergers and deals including Matsushita’s acquisition of MCA/Universal, the financial rescue of MGM/United Artists, and Sony’s acquisition of Columbia Pictures. His signing of Coca-Cola as a CAA client had a significant impact on the advertising industry. He also negotiated David Letterman’s move from NBC to CBS, chronicled in the book The Late Shift: Letterman, Leno and the Network Battle for the Night by Bill Carter. Ovitz now acts as a private investor who has informally advised the careers of such notables as Martin Scorsese, David Letterman and Tom Clancy. Time at Disney: Ovitz left CAA in 1995 initially because he thought he would become CEO of Disney, taking over for Michael Eisner who had been experiencing health issues. Eisner ended up essentially not giving up his position in any meaningful way which left Ovitz very frustrated and sandbagged. When he left CAA he gave up $200 million in guaranteed future fees so Disney had to step up and offer him a no-fault golden parachute if his time at Disney did not work out. When he left Disney after a little longer than one year, he was paid $138 million ($38 million in cash and $100 million in stock). Disney shareholders sued Eisner and the Disney board for agreeing to such a large package, but that lawsuit was ultimately not successful. Outside of business, Michael is an active investor and philanthropist. In 1999 he donated $25 million to UCLA’s medical center. He is also one of the world’s top art collectors, owning pieces by Jasper Johns, Pablo Picasso, Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning.
