Used to play 11 a side on a Friday night with a load of lads on the AstroTurf at Flixton Girls School, (was about 14, used to hang about on the off chance they were short of players).. got the ball just inside the oppositions half, the main organiser came to shut me down, megged him, went round him and chipped the keeper first time from 35 yards they didn’t let me play for 2 weeks
Aside from that had a tremendous record as a goalkeeper at Junior school level, didn’t concede a goal in 11 a side from 2nd year until the end of 4th year, only finally conceding when losing in the big Ciba-Geigy(sp) tournament final as we lost 2-0 to Barton Clough (the school I'd previously been at , who had 3 lads on United’s books at the time). Mike Summerbee was particularly complimentary about me at the awards presentation when it was over, the blue @#%&!. Andy Hinchcliffe and Lee Sharpe were also impressed Still playing 9 a side and 5 a side regularly and still having top moments. Bagged a cracking header last week recently played for the over 40’s vs U40’s amongst all the lads we play with and gave as good as we got |

Scored an incredible OG off my knee from outside the area. Legendary moment for my team in Beijing. Years later met a lad who was playing for the opposition and he was in awe (I think) when he found out that was me.
Biggest achievement was winning a 5 a side world cup. We were unbeaten all the way.I just sat in defence and watched the three lads in front take the piss. We bagged best keeper, best player and golden boot. Final vs Africa went to penalties. Three for each team. I was ready to take the fourth if needed and as by far the worst player in the team I just knew I would miss. Our keeper saved their third though and mayhem. Their last penalty taker - Pele - was in tears ffs. Best moment though was beating an 11 aside Africa team in a cup semi final. After the game one of them took his belt out of his bag and started whipping some of his team mates |

Nutmegging Trevor Morley on Red Nose Day when I was 12 and him going ‘ooh you little bastard’, mentioned a zillion times before probably but it was ace.
Record for Wolverhampton Uni team: played 1, touches 1, goals 1. My best mate played every game for years without scoring once, they were short on players so I filled in as sub, came on with a few mins left, picked up a loose ball and @#%&!ted it into the corner. |

First game playing in adult leagues as a 14 year and they all looked massive.
Inside right and sprinting to put a cross into the far post and slightly miss hit it, absolutely rocketing it into the top corner. As I was stretching to hit it I fell over and by the time I got up everyone was cheering, completely ruined it by asking who scored. |

Used to tag onto that same group Friday nights I think dunk.... Hated sand astros though
My zenith was four OGs in one week. 2 on the weds for school and 2 on the Sunday against pretty much the same opposition for club. One a peach of a volley into the corner direct from corner. Lost both games about 8 - 0. Still gets brought up now 22 years later |

Used to play as a goalkeeper in a 5-aside team with a bunch of semi-pro's and a couple of a Championship and Premier League Physio's (I've never played at that level, but set up the team with my mate who did).
Most of the lads on our team didn't know who I was and thought I was just some shit lad their mate knew (they weren't wrong tbh). Had an outrageous game topped off with an impossible double save that even the referee applauded (David Seamen vs Sheffield United, but better). Broke my wrist in two places the game after, but played out the last 15 minutes without making a peep because we didn't have any backup goalkeeper. |

Had a season where everything i hit seemed to go in.
My best goal was a last minute winner from just inside the oppenents half by the touchline. I was too tired to run with it and saw the keeper off his line and just nailed it. It flew in. Also scored the opener in that game from about 20 yards. Once scored from kick off in a 5 a side match. Managed to lob the keeper |
