A guy on another forum asked me more about football past so thought Id share a little bit.
Here I am captain of Newcastle U15s? City boys team
We ended up finishing I think top 8 in the country.
Pretty funny article comparing me as perhaps the next Alan Shearer when I was 14-15ish? No idea why it says Im a centre half. Funny thing is we went to the park enxt to where I lived and I had to play football with my Dad, he was a big fan and I had to foul him, he didnt really find this amusing. The photographer rang up the next day and said Ive lost my camera lololol. So he came back the next day and we just did the trophy shoot.

Here is me at Southampton the next year, look at the guy two places to the left of me... Hes at Real Madrid and is the most expensive player in the world! Theo Walcott was in this age team as well although was always pushed through the ranks. Nathan Dyer, Leon Best, Dexter Blackstock, Adam Lallana and others all came through the same youth team, pretty insane.
Ended up back in the North East playing in front of huge crowds!
This progessed to Blyth Spartans here I am pre match playing at St James Park, my Dad sitting in the very same seat he sat every Saturday to watch Newcastle watching me out there, must be prettx surreal.
At University I was prepared for a really serious and gruelling league, the day I was picked for the university team (almost 2000 came for trials) I was excited, we met for an evening to discuss the seasons plans, but it was a tarpppp and it was my initiation night
And here I am "tied up" to another guy who had made the squad for the first time in the bottom left..
And here I am with all the robbers (new players) and policemen (2nd-3rd years)
I wisely decided not to play in my next years as it was all abit too much give me a B give me an A give me a N give me a T give me a E give me a RRRRRRRRRRRRR lets all have some Banter. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
After moving to PokerStrategy in Gibraltar I didnt play much at all, we had a big industry tournament where we ended up winning and I snatched the trophy for the winners photo
