How Do You Visualise Other Moon Posters?

Not true.

If it's off your computer go to
https://imgur.com/. In the top left corner, click on "new post", locate the pic you want to upload and drag it into the box ("drop images here" or "paste image or url"), or use the browse facility ("choose photo/video").
When the pic has uploaded, hover your cursor over the top right hand corner and you'll see three dots appear next to the words "copy link". Click on the dots, then click on "Get Share links". You'll then see 4 options. The one you want is "BB Code (Forums)". Click on "copy link" beside that code, then paste it into your reply on here. Sort of like this....

Even a Canuck should be able to do that.

Funny that technically, for a long time, kids like that were never given a real chance, kids being more physically able given preference, my opinion, but that's why we lagged behind a lot of Europe, seen so many kids like your mate fall by the wayside, I wonder if David Silva would have made it to such great heights had he been English.

As a scrawny, short arsed 12 year old i was scouted by a few clubs including City. They came to a few school games to see me and another kid who was massive and almost gone through puberty. City gave me 6 months to grow but despite hanging off the banniste at home every day i never did. Six months later they took the other lad on (not a patch on me). Not long after he developed some sort of bone disease and ended up in a wheelchair. I went on to stride through the sunday leagues like a colossus. And i wore nhs specs...

Did you have the obligatory plaster round one of the arms four eyes , sorry Stoner ?

Reminds me of Rae Ingram, capped at every level internationally iirc, clearly outstanding physically throughout the age groups, but once the scrawny kids (who were given a chance) had leveled that particular playing field, along with the fact his physicality was no longer an advantage in the adult game, he kind of didn't go a great deal further.

Our council estates were full of scrawny little kids who were fantastic footballers who never got that chance.

Just to add, I used to work with a lad who went to school with Mark Hughes, he always said Hughes wasn't even in the top 3 footballers in their team, but when United came to scout the other 3, Hughes was outstanding, they left the other 3 and the rest is history.

Yep, also had an eye patch for a while as well. In fact, the only time i din't wear my specs was on the football pitch.

many years ago the Times had a picture showing a diminutive Cruyff standing next to a brawny Brooking with the caption “is this what’s wrong with English football?”
The article went on to illustrate how English football dominated at schoolboy level at the time because they were all built like brick shithouses and peaked at that age but were crap in later years. Whereas continental clubs looked at the whole skill level more closely.
