went as high as captain of the school team when i was about 11 but i dont think my ability every developed any further than that

played 5 a side leagues at uni, winning the league in one of those seasons (by loading up on university 1st team payers), and winning the lancing college colts football tournament shield (the europa league equivalent pitting all the teams who came 3rd/4th in their respective initial groups) with my old prep school were my crowning glories

Only ever reached the heights of friendly weeknight 5 a side footie myself, but had to give up due to persistent injury. Slightly off topic but one of my wife's friends & work colleagues used to be a pro for Mauritimo (?) in Portugal until sustaining a career ending injury, & has since qualified as a technician in the medical world. Best friends and old room-mate with Pepe...now with Real Madrid!

I used to play with Sean Wright-Phillips and he was nowhere near the best player, I always wonder if his dad was not who he was whether he would have even got a look in

It's true. He really is.

I wasn't bad just wasn't good either. I referee higher than I played. Says a lot

Played county league for a couple of years, but preferred the beer and watching the Albion.

With two ex - Albion players in the family, really didnt live up to expectations.

You're not Bert Trautmann, are you?

West Hoathly First XI in Mid Sussex Div 2 (or was it Div 3?).

I blame the fact that I went to a Rugby-playing school for the fact that I didn't progress further!!

Sadly I regret not playing competitively on Saturday afternoons when I had the chance to a decent standard, but contented myself with Sunday morning 'pub league' football-getting regularly spanked by 5 or 6, sometimes a lot more. The social side was great but I really should have played more, with better players, and played on for longer. When I was of school age there was never an evening or weekend daytime when I wasn't out kicking a ball about somewhere. You never see kids do that anymore

Me? Nothing apart from owning the local football courts

My mother however has played for England.
