I alternated between left back and left wing. Like a cross between Stuart Pierce and Steve McMoneyman. I peaked in junior school though, and other sports became more important after that (from a playing perspective).
Somebody should do a follow up thread for a 6CM best team. I'm far too lazy to start that.

Player maker now, can pass the ball to anyone.
Shame about the running, tackling, tracking back and heading.

I wanted to be a footballer more than anything but was always told to concentrate on cricket. I went against my gut feeling and lost motivation by which time it was too late.
I've been reading your posts for about 10 years and you never once mentioned healing an animal.
Arf. My dad was a vet but I have to remember not to use that term if I ever talk to American folks about him.
Centre back. 6"3, therefor quite good in the air and a very strong tackler. Very good passer of the ball but cant finish for toffee. Last time I scored a goal John Barnes was still playing. What little pace I once had is gone and I turn around like an oil tanker these days.
Played at a decent level over here but now its 7a side footy. Dont have time for anything else with kids and work.

Liam nearly made it at Liverpool
Pretty sure that was Tommy Lee Wallace and it was in Maine in the US.
I used to be Neil Mellor... not really that good at anything but I could finish. Then I got moved to centre back, was alright once I got comfortable playing there, now I'm like Kolo Toure... run around the pitch much more slowly than I used to, dragging my fat ass behind me and I'm most definitely past it.
Your missus is lovely though Neil.
I was allrounder, which is never good. However I was striker in the junior League for a couple of season scoring bunches of goals. Going senior I took a midfield role, doing ok, covering my milage and still able to cope With us having the rare occasion of possesion.
Once I met my old team (their reserves), I got haggled in a midfield Battle With an old team mate whom I never liked anyway. Captaining my team I took some Challenges, and so did he. In a Counter I chased him Down and jumped in tackle were I heard a bone break. When I landed I realized it was mine.... In a lower League game the ambulance had to come from a hospital, and I lying there waiting while 100 People wanting to confirm it was a boken leg, it took ages.
After the ambulance arrived, 15 mins after the tackle, and the medics wrapped me up and lifted me in, The ref suddenly gave me a yellow for the tackle. As I was already on a booking I was actually sent off while I was carried into the ambulance. Not neccasary to say I could not play Next game.... Fuck that ref!!!

I was deceptively slow, had the control of an arthritic elephant, a left foot useful for standing on but nothing football related, the passing range of a packet of cheese n' onion tayto and the tackling ability of a banana.
Basically I was less useful than a traffic cone on a football pitch.

That doesn't mean he wasn't a good keeper Dreamy.
I should add that my career ended in Primary 7.
Having been played out of position in defence in a trail game for Olderfleet Primary School, I scored an own goal after flinging my useless left foot at a low cross.
I didn't make the squad.
At a second trail match, I impressed playing in a more forward position and won a recall to the squad.
Alas, they never played again and my chance to make it in football was over.
Olderfleet, were the worst school team in the district, and they played in blue, making them look a bit like Everton - so that made it feel better.
I retired to the playground to play out my years.

So now you're a bit slow in the head, have lost both your front teeth and have cauliflower ears. No wonder you regret it. Should have picked one !
Can't believe you mentioned Romario before Pele.
Pele must be nearly counting subbutteo goals at this stage.
The massive prick.
Played right back in the village u10 team. After that I never made another team (school or otherwise). I think, maybe, I wasn't that good.
My 15 yo son is a useful left back/left mid. No idea where he gets it from as my wife is not into sport either ... must be the milkman

No but I'd dominate the centre spot.
Which reminds me of something I'm going to add to the 'Tenuous links' thread...
Played mostly as a striker. I'm a pretty good finisher and scored the very very odd worldie, but was poor in the air and probably not strong or tough enough. I'd be pretty lazy too. Could beat a man, but usually only the one. Played a bit in midfield and on the wing too. Have a nice touch and good passing range, but sometimes take too long on the ball and get caught out.
