Apols to anyone who hasn't, but I'd guess most of us have had a footy 'career' of some sort. Lets hear about it.

Me? Played the Chris Baird role (covered every position, not especially well) in a fantastic school footy team, played goalie in a middling junior sunday league club. Only played maybe a dozen competitive 11 a side games in my adult life, but did play semi-serious 5/6/7 a side twice a week for two decades and played in the annual R-R inter-departmental grudge-settling festival, by that time as centre forward. Stopped playing at 42 when my doctor told me my knees sounded like I had a packet of Doritos strapped to them when I walked.

Highlight? I played in a sort-of international, the 'Best Of The Brits' v. Island Of Aegina in front of a few thousand people when on holiday in Greece in around '82, the team photo is still on a wall at the ground

Lowlight? committing a professional foul on a chap called Dave during an inter-departmental ruck

Anyone?
