I was **** though.
i was pretty decent as a youth, but no clubs came sniffing our league apart from Portsmouth but that was mainly through school football, and as soon as i discovered Alcohol it was game over..
nowadays Brightons new training ground is in village and theres quite a lot of local lads getting trials etc
i also once played a sunday league game, and the other team had a bloke who legit was at least 70, he apparently played for spurs and was nicknamed chipper, never found out his real name but he werent bad despite having no physical presence left.
