Either left back or right back, as could quite successfully kick with both feet.

2nd row or No.8
Although I sometimes played left back, I'm quite right footed. Left only really capable of clearing to row A. Maybe row B if I really caught it well.
I did actually score once with my left, laces an' all

I may have met you on the battlefield at some time over the years, depending on what Sussex div you played in?
Used to play for Bexhill and Sidley.
Didn't play in Sussex, just played for my work team in London. We'd have been at opposite ends of the pitch too. I'd get dizzy on the odd adventure up field.

Your support is not that great
Saw myself as an attacking right-sided midfielder but lacked the pace to be a proper winger. Occasionally believed I was a striker but had a terrible shot on me. In terms of my physical stature I probably should have been a central defender but I wasn't very keen on tackling people.
Football is so much easier from the stands.

CB, despite being smal (when I was younger anyway) I would be one of the six in the tunnel. 100%.
Got in several fights at five a side (which we played on a hockey pitch) because I'd still slide in. Losing skin in the process. Would always rather lose some skin than let them think I'm going to pull out of a challenge

Met blokes like that - need to work out if they're hard or stupid.
Played right mid at school [Saltdean and Longhill] gave up footy for motorcycle racing for 10 years - returned as a left mid for Wiv-Green and my works [International Factors] set up a team that I captained from CB and occasional right wing-back - all stopped at 32 [early 90's] when diagnosed with type-1 diabetes - happy days ...

LB or defensive LW. Wasn't left footed, so wasn't much point in sprinting down the wing and trying to cross, so tended to cut inside behind the other forwards. Back then, there seemed to be hardly any left-footers (not at my school anyway) so the best winger always played RW, and the next best one (me) on the left. Same with the full backs. I wasn't very good, though I occasionally had my moments (these were so rare that I can recall them 40 or 50 years later!)

How did you get on with the walking football ? I play in a few walking tournaments and there's some surprisingly good teams around.
