Remember when you were a kid though, nobody wanted to be left back. Could only kick with my right.
So in the dressing room before the game for the under 13s, the manager says “wee man”, pointing at me, “left back”. Gutted - my mum had washed the kit and everything and then I get left back. Better than sub, but only just.
That’s what happened today. Lewie goes off and nobody fancies it. So Dan makes big Ouss do it, who thinks “if I am really shite at this he won’t make me do it again”. Can’t blame him really, but he should be made to take his kit home for his mum to wash.
I was always the liability kid who played in defence, and instead of in-depth tactics and detailed instruction I was just told to smash the ball out instead of trying anything so my team mates could deal with it.
