To reflect reality, we need a few “injured players” and “some real duffers” in the team.

Not going to select any of the former, but posters from other local teams would easily fit into the second category.  We all know who they are!  😄😀😄

I'm not as mobile as I used to be, both knees fooked and 54 yrs old now. I might be ok as an injury time sub though 😜

That’s the least of the problems as far as I’m concerned. I wasn’t good enough to even get in the Bursar Street Junior School team. It was all downhill after that.

Put it this way, my skill at football was so bad that I loved playing rugby.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Wouldn't worry about not making  the Bursar Street Junior School team.

I played one game for them - with instructions to leather the ball in the general direction of the opponents' goal if the said sphere
happened to be in my locality. Shrewd tactics, you may say, but at that age my eye-foot coordination meant 3 air-kicks out of 4 attempts.
It wasn't much fun for me, so I told the teacher I didn't want to play again.

Things were only slightly better at Clee Grammar.
Coerced into playing right-back in the house team, I was always facing someone quicker and more skilful than myself. So when the winger knocked
it past me I'd grass him rather than turn round and run after him forlornly. I was a thinking player, you see.
The late Owen Roberts told me I was the dirtiest player he'd ever seen in all his years teaching. He was prone to exaggerate for dramatic impact.
Ended up banished to the hockey team in the 6th form.

Have always felt that if Owen Roberts had spotted and nurtured my talents I might have been the next Chopper Harris, but some things aren't meant to be...

Well I don't know how to tell you all the bad news. As you know Hursty has made many new signings and, it would appear, none of us were good enough to be considered.

Perhaps too many admitted their legs had gone, I made too many cross's, Rob wasn't tall enough and Ginny spent all his time being a left winger! Alas we will never know why he left us out of his plans.

So we'll just have to have a glass of our favourite tipple handy on Saturday as we watch or listen to the match, whist we contemplate what Hursty has missed in not signing anyone of us,

Many years ago I was selected for a maximum of 2 sub appearances in the school team.  

I was left -footed so put on the left wing.  A combination of muddy pitches, a very heavy wet leather ball and my weak feeble build meant that I was not strong enough to cross the ball from the wing to the middle.  Embarrassing.

I was better off in kickabouts as a LB clogger, stopping anyone who could play.  With tenacity rather than with any skill.
