has anyone actually played football to a "decent"

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Post by Radford149 »

just wondering to what level people play or have played. Radford149 acheived semi-pro status (yes people paid to see Radford play) and he was a bit of a local hero.

how about you?

..Was in the Wimbledon under-8 to under 11 side till they fucked off to MK.

Quite a good full back for my age, a good player but nothing special. I can hit it hard though. SHame it never goes in... :cry:

Played for my school team, as right back. The *word censored* PE teacher swapped to a 5-3-2 formation so I had to spend 90 mins sprinting up and down the touchline. 85 mins gone, their striker was clean through to score teh winner, I was never gonna catch him so did the most cynical professional foul ever :cool:

Never got picked again, but at least we didn't lose :lol:

i use to be a right back at Beveren in Belgium - but was dropped when they sign a skillfull, talented african lad - his name escapes me at the moment - i think he left to join a premiership team and is now doing really well

Used to play for Brentford as a kid in the same team as Peter Crouch (before he went to QPR & then the Totts) - also played in the same Sunday team as him. Two other players from both my teams made it pro, but only lower leagues - Walsall & Aldershot last I heard.

I quit Brentford (& pretty much playing football altogether) at 16 cos football was no fun to me any more for a while & getting to Griffin Park for 7.30am on a Sunday morning for away games wasn’t easy with no lift. But I’d never had made it all the way to pro to be honest anyway so signing a YTS only to not make it a couple of years later would have been a mistake.

Only really played 5-a-side now & again since then.
