I’m assuming most people here have had a dreams of playing in cup final scoring the winner and such
So how far did you get to reaching such dreams
Did you reach academy levels l or high
I thought of this question because I’ve one of dad’s "oh I could played pro if it wasn’t for my shit knees
When I was at primary school, our local team were playing in the old UEFA Cup against Bayern Munich. Our school was chosen to play in a little game on the pitch at half time. Every boy in school came to the try outs for the team. It was basically, get sorted into teams, the teacher would throw the ball up in the air to ‘kick off’ and first goal stayed on to play the next team. My team had just won our game, new team came on, teacher threw the ball up in the air, I volleyed it straight from kick off, in my own half right into the goal. The other team had to walk straight back off without any of them touching the ball or the ball even touching the ground.
I didn’t make the team.
