RFC55 108,905 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Used to. Replaced Aidan mcgesdy when he left Queen's Park for taigs and Derek carcary went to Rangers the same summer. Could've made it, was a mongo and ended up way a criminal record. Career gone. Played top end amateur right enough up till 25, went back at 29 and retired at 31.

Gazzalivesforever 1,987 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Played junior football through most of my 20's. Had been training with Raith Rovers for a while and at end of season was meant to make the step up to senior. Tore my patella tendon in the march was out for 9 months. Rovers didn't happen. Then broke my leg again at 28 again in March. Didn't have it in me to go back to football. Haven't kicked a ball since. No even had a game of 5s. Made a promise to my daughter she'd never see me like that again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been lucky with the amount of football I’ve played, 28 n never broken anything etc. Just had ankle ligament damage and that’s it. Touch wood!

That is a real pity mate, but sometimes when we are young we do not take the right road and I am sure you were not the only one.

Orangeclement 570 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Due to Spaghetti holding my knees together I never made it . Tried coming back a few times but last about an hour and me knees pack in again . All down to slipping and dislocating my knee and breaking my ankle in 2 places while drunk . Rarely drink now . The other knee was fucked before this when I megged someone on the turn and got studs stuck in grass and heard an almighty pop.( 8 months out.)

Was supposed to join Aberdeen at 16. Everything was done and agreed. He was playing in a semi against their rivals. Wee cousin made a horrendous tackle and was sent off, rightly so. A riot started and he was in the middle of it. Stuck the nut in some boy. Aberdeen got wind of it and pulled the plug. He got banned for a year after that to.

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Had a couple of decent opportunities to play at a good level when I was younger and they never worked out for different reasons. Played a couple of seasons in the juniors a few years back but fell away from that and lost interest for a while after finding the step down from juniors to being back paying to play on council pitches with the amateurs thoroughly depressing. Sunday league loyal nowadays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
