  2. That newcastle game was 4-1, Cole scored a 3 and beardsley got the other. We were 1-0 up as well.

     

    I can remember playing Burnley in the late 90s and they had to get a result to stay in the 2nd division. They scored and some of their fans jumped over the boards and squashed the poor ball boy who was sat at the other side of it. I also remember somebody leaning over the boards in the Lookers to head the ball back to the pitch but he leaned too far and fell over the boards and had to have his arm in a sling. It was really funny because he left the ground to chants of 'theres only one dosy b*****d'.

  3. It is but thats how football is. I'am similar in height and build to Eyresy so he was probably like me as a 15/16 year old. I think another problem is playing young players out of position because a team is short in that position. This happened with a few Latics youngsters such as Adam Griffin who was a left winger that got put in at left back due to a shortage. This possibly ruined him as he was more suited to playing as a winger in my opinion due to his size and build.

  4. This is a very interesting thread. As a young lad I had trials at Rochdale and even though I'am naturally left footed and have played most of life as a forward or on the wing I was put at right back for nearly all the game I played. Luckily for me the game was abandoned and a new date was set for the trial so I did get chance to play upfront were I had always played. I found it quite difficult though as nearly every ball played to me was way above my head which to a 15 year old who was only about 5ft4 at the time it was very difficult. About a week later I recieved a call from Rochdale to say that I had been unsuccessful in my trial as I was far too small. Now having got a bit older and in my midtwenties i have grown a few inches although still a little small and also gained a bit of weight. I'am now considered past it as far as ever getting a chance to play for a league club.

    I find it quite silly really that many players are lost such as myself because they are judged way before they are fully grown and its not taken into account that some people mature physically slower than other people. I have since given up football as like has already been said pitches are very poor and for somebody that uses pace and first touch to have an impact on a game it is very difficult.
