Has anyone on here played professionally?

Not professionally but was in a centre midfield 3 of myself ...wes brown and Richie Wellens in my teenage years (1 season at mcr boys)

The year after trials were held in didsbury and my parents didn’t drive .... after a mix up with my p.e teacher (transport) I never got the chance again

Wes was a 6 foot black kid with ginger hair at the age of 13 !!! He stood out a mile

The thread is now 15 pages long and will inevitably digress. I imagine there’s strict rules on current players using forums and social media too.
 
My partners grandad played just short of 200 games for everton in the 30s/40s with joe mercer and Dixie dean. I always think that's pretty cool. Even got a cap for England
 
Joe Rodon’s brother is a regular watching Wales away. He’s always got a Rodon shirt on to support him.

@billybluehat doesn't post much now, but used to play for Chadderton. He scored a free kick against FC United back in the day and ripped off his shirt to reveal a City shirt underneath (after about 45 seconds on the video below). Good lad.

Fish user won’t be accurate because of how weird it was, it was just something like that.

Think Ball’s account will be long gone. Only guy who seemed to post positively about his performances, funnily enough.
 
Mentioned in the United thread some time ago and I am too lazy to dig it out; I played against a very young Roy Keane back in Cork years ago. It was a challenge match where Rockmount were letting some of their youth players get some experience against more - ahem - mature players. Well he skinned me twice so I said "no more" and sent him over the sideline on his arse. He wasn't a fan apparently... He was an angry little bastard back then too. The fucker could flat out play though. Wish I had chinned him all the same but the coach yelled at me for "picking on the small fella"
 
I hate Roy Keane more than any United player (Beckham, Gary Neville) but he was exceptional.
 
Played for curzon 2’s when I was in sixth form. 2 of the Lake brothers and Steve wigley there then. Never got a look in after spotted filling my ucca form in when on the bench preseason.
Beck Ford year ahead of me at school, enough said about that
Paul molden scored 3-2 winner to knock school out of ?manchester cup in semi final, and Harrison (Scouse) kid And ginger city lad that ended Up at west ham, forget his name, did similar in Sunday league.
