I used to be a keeper and also had a spell playing right wing/attacking midfielder for a few months.
As a keeper i'd describe myself as Shay Given. one or two weak links to my game but a quality shot stopper.
playing outfield, i'm say possibly say an early Michael Johnson, maybe even a shit David Silva. obviously clearly not as good or i wouldn't be typing this now. i just floated about the pitch from one side to the other, picking forward balls and stretching the game. i did my best to get the ball on every attack.
i played upfront at eastlands in 2007, but forgetting and accidently kept dropping deep and picking passes, i was trying to reminisce the old times i think! only for the 2 midfielders on my team asking me what the fuck i was doing! :(

Barry with Kolarovs left foot
Zabaleta - could play anywhere!
I was quality till I moved to Australia at 13, then I grew lazy and also suffered a horror injury (ligaments, etc.) captaining my school team that was worse than a break (after an Italian lad dived in front of me, forcing me to jump over him on one of the rock hard Aussie pitches - pain was so bad I nearly passed out and would have had oxygen if they had any handy!) and never played other than kickabouts after that.

I also was a pretty shit centre half and right back, but very fit and wholehearted, so Lee Crooks. But I did rather well in goal, and won three player of the season awards on the trot at pub football level until injury forced my early retirement from the game at 38, so Nicky Weaver as keeper.

Who's that City player that couldn't head it (ten bob head), was fast as fuck, solid in the tackle and only had one foot, cos that's me.

An uncompromising Zab/Nige cross breed with a mullet. Well more an accidently uncompromising version due to lack of pace and timing.
