mercredi février 26 - 21:58 I very much doubt it. Who would want an old midfielder who has no pace and can no longer run properly?
I managed to fool people that I had to stop playing as a result of various orthopaedic injuries, like ankle reconstruction. The truth is retirement was forced by lack of talent. :D
This brings back some memories.
I think this was my best ever performance ...
Somehow I had blagged my way into playing for a small town team, who played at a fairly decent amateur level, and we had got though a few rounds of a regional cup competition.
In the quarter-final (I think) we were drawn against a team from a league above us. They were semi-pros who normally played in the same league as some of the pro reserve teams. I must have been the worst player on the pitch. After a few minutes I could tell I was out of my depth. Every time I got the ball I was closed down quickly and put under pressure. The opponents just seemed too strong and a little bit too quick for me. It was a nightmare and fortunately the manager agreed and took me off at half time ...
