Which position on the pitch is it easy to hide in.

Correct!
I know its a Joke, but he doesnt hide does he, because everyone realises he's not doing anything, so thats not hiding is it?
It's like Dan Harding hiding at left back... he doesnt get away with it, so gets subbed off before half time

Very well.
In the best sides, where your defence is king, and you're defending on their 18-yard line, I'll plump for... goalie.
WOAH WOAH WOAH.
That is some shout, I would say a Keeper is the last place you can hide someone.
Unless you are in year 4 on the playground playing 18vs 16 one side with monkey rush and the game ends 13-11 after an hours lunch break.

Sweeper, I should know, I played it for 15 years.

If you need to hide during a game, I think it's time to hang your boots up stop playing
Nonsense. At a Sunday League level, it is very common to need to hide a player, either because they are dreadful, but all you could find that week, or because they are hungover / sick / injured, but needs must, and you've got to stick them in somewhere.

Up front in a 4-5-1 away from home.
Just make it look as though your 'chasing' down the defenders and you get away with anything.
People just make excuses and say you were doing a 'thankless task'

Point taken. Maybe I took it too seriously when I played many, many years ago. Just because someone is dreadful/drunk/injured/dead they shouldn't have to give up the game they love.

Playing Sunday league last year, we had a keeper crisis for one match. At last notice one of our team proclaimed he had a mate who said he would play in goal for us.
"Brilliant" we all thought. You accept there and then he may not be the best ever, but it's someone doing us a favour so we can't moan.
The chap turned up, was suprised to learn he needed gloves for the position he was to play and then even more suprised when we informed him after the first goal that he was allowed to use his hands.
He then preceeded to still try and stop shots with his feet every time, rolled the ball to there payer because he "was nearest" and then left at half time because he thought that was the end of the game.

I thought John Gordon Sinclair excelled in the role of the hidden goalkeeper in 'Gregory's Girl'.
Sly didnt do a bad job in goal, in escape to victory either.
However these are both films.

In a good team, the full backs, unless they are particularly gung-ho attack minded.

as noted, a foward in a 451 can make themselves hard to find, but i think a good manager whould spot that and haul them off. the easiest place to hide unnoticed has to be the wing. its easy to find a poor position to not invite a pass, and if one does come just knock it back.
a few runs at the opposition will have the crown and manager thinking you're putting in a shift. i can think quite a few wingers who make themselves a far greater reputation than they deserve this way.

I may be wrong but my guess is that he was alluding to that by way of a sly dig at our talisman
