Football memories

In light of the current meme sweeping my facebook wall, what are your favourite memories from playing football as a child?

All so true

Much like 5-a-side now tbh. Especially rule 3.

"Back if you need!"

#5 is the best one

Having to wear charcoal strides with green/brown knees to school next day after a kickabout turns into the European cup final ..

Rush/fly keeper

Knock out Wem'

Loved world cup Willy / k.o wemberlee ( doubles or singles)
Wall E
Headers and volleys ( 9 lives keeper Starts on 10, lose a life if you miss or keeper saves)

Doing the "Tardelli!" celebration...

Crop soccer is one that springs to my mind. How the £#%&! people didn't break bones on a daily basis is beyond me.

I used to hate it (soft @#%&!) and shied away from really hurting someone. However one day, a lad who I hated, was running towards the play at full pelt and i kicked one of his feet. He went flying Hollywood style and must have done about fifty rolls before he got up and started chasing me.

What a load of whimsical old shite

Having to go to your mates for a game of two player fifa disgusting times

I used to play in the games that Noel Gallagher wrote about '25 aside and the next goal wins'

"No overhead targets!"

Bottys/Tunnel of death if they got to 10.

no blasting from close range.

When the ball goes into some old @#%&!s back garden, and nodody wants to get it. "you knock, ill ask" then as soon as the other fella knocks leg it and leave him there on his own to ask

No toe punts

If it was jumpers for goalposts then it was the varying height of the crossbar depending on how tall the goalie was.
