Something to lighten the mood a little, idea lifted from watsapp group I'm and including some hilarious and in one case tragic reply:
What was it that stopped you being a professional footballer?
Never wanted to be is fine
Two left feet is fine too
The truth would be more interesting though
Never been a good footballer, got ok at 5 a side when played regularly.
Was decent goalie at school but was overweight so never considered for school teams etc
At the age where you need to start taking sport seriously, other physical desires took precedence. I equally failed to achieve those in the most part.
I found accountancy to be a far more stimulating career option....
The truth? Same reason as with rugby and cricket or writing a best seller…nowhere near good enough.Quote:

I was pro standard with the ball at my feet, it was the running bit that spoilt things!
Don't believe that for a second, always had you down as a dribblerQuote:

Dead loss basically although briefly notorious at school when someone of the same name broke through for a while at, I think, Birmingham City, which I milked like mad
Also had the proverbial head like a Threepenny bit...
