Glen Hoddle - I was a lazy git who stood around the midfield but occasionally put in a blinding pass or hit a sweet curler...Oh and I hated having my socks pulled up and my shirt tucked in...

I was either Chris Waddle or Ian Crook and I occasionally hit a volley like Goss.

Jumpers for goal post, last goal wins even if the score is 15 - 10, players swapping sides, ripped school uniform, muddy shoes which used to drive my mum nuts....

[quote]True, but I had a goal tally and outrageous pace that Lineker could only dream of... I forget the number of times I made a Norfolk Senior Cup winner and teammate of Luther Blissett look like a mug. A...[/quote]

I notice you do not deny my silky skills Peter.

Didn''t really take a player''s name, but what games we had! Limited to a tennis ball, we all developed pretty good skills at the expense of our shoes We used the double doors of the biology block as a goal and only broke 1 window in 4 years! Unfortunately some of the equipment in the labs either side of the entrance weren''t so lucky.

It usually started as a  World Cup but tended to degenerate into set pieces from corners and then people teeing up shots for S.W-P style bullets...woe betide any of the little kids who ever dared to run across our game!

I was Chris Sutton and on his departure Mr Eadie. However I always celebrated a goal like Alan Shearer with the dipped head and bent arm raised above it!!

when in goal - Woods, then Gunny (basically whoever played in goal at the time)

when on pitch - started out as Tony Spearing as I met him and he was a really nice guy with cool hair.   I quickly moved onto Townsend and then Goss though.

What''s with the who were you in the playground though?   I still pretend I am Huckerby or Goss, depending on which shirt I am wearing, each week at footy practice

Oh sweet school memories - Framingham Earl 1980''s.  Any other Frammers out there?

Footy aside, I was always Botham as well - fearsome opening bowler and No.4 Bat.

Normann Canary:  Good to see you back Norm, and if anyone should be offering psychological help to the players, then you''ve got my vote.

Heya Flick Fleck,

good to be back... I''d gladly offer my Psycho therapy classes to the team... but I honestly couldnt say whether they would help or not... it could do further damage to their already sensetive and delicate minds...

Still, perhaps I should write to FCR and offer, it cant hurt.... well not yet

Me? I''m was in the Ian Henderson mould on the right midfield. Brilliant pace, skill in abundance and that killer finishing you need.

I was that Frenchman Marc Libbra , full of promise and flair , exceptionally volatile but with so much style ,could have been a world beater.... but in the end just another uselss hacker.

Slightly off thread,

I recall some foreign team playing in England, I think they it was Honved, and they wore black shorts with white trim around the bottom of the legs.

The next sports lesson we had, most of the lads had got their mothers to sew white ribbon on to the bottom of their school football shorts just to pretend they were that team.

[quote]We do sometimes get double posts - not sure if it''s us or you . . . I should have deleted the second one.[/quote]

Celia,

Sometimes when the "Post Reply" button is pressed nothing happens for several seconds. The sender thinks he hasn''t pressed it properly so does it again causing said duplication.

Would it be possible to have an audible bleep, to show button pressed, programmed into the system ?
