The players you most relate to when you are playing football.

[tannerall 25,935]

See, I wasn't a great player, my level was intermediate, fairly decent, but a wee bit below the players who could get a wee cash backhander in the Saturday and Sunday leagues.

My usual position was midfield, I had great stamina and could run all day, enjoyed a hard tackle, liked to boss the other players around, decent awareness andt ball control, and passed the ball comfortably. Enjoyed linking with full backs and always looked to get the pass up front in to space ahead of the forward (s). Was brilliant on corners cause I practised a lot. Was also good at winding up the referee a wee bit without getting carded.

Was average on heading, not great on the left foot, poor at dribbling and was rubbish at taking throw ins. Hated playing up front as you'd spend most of the time watching the game and I did n't have the the speed of turn needed.

Would never be a goalkeeper (or referee), as I did not understand the mentality or see what that had to do with playing football....

So the players who I thought I could be like ( ) were Alex McDonald, Bobby Russell, Rino Gattuso, and nowadays I think the player I was pretending to be could be Nicky Law with a bit of Lewis Mcleod, but more likely Ian Black.

If I had to choose my favourite player I admired and wanted to be it would be Johan Neeskens at Ajax

So which football player (s) do you see yourself as being similar to (and perhaps equalling ) on the park ?

PE teacher said I was the white Patrick Vieira.

[KingKirk 25,647]

I was Gazza, so some said then I woke up.

[JamieD 18,948]

Many compared me to a young Roberto Baggio.

Kirk Broadfoot.

Kyle Lafferty, I'm a lanky bastard that can take the ball past folk, my finishing is awful on the whole but every now and then I score a fucking screamer.

[The Godfather 71,893]

Phil O'Donnell

When I was in goals, I am incredibly inconsistent, and prone to absolute howlers. I can occasionally pull of stunning saves though. I also like to charge out of my area and clatter opposition strikers, and I take far too many risks outside the box. I get booked a lot. I would certainly like to be compared to Jorge Campos.

Phil O'Donnell

Haha would've said more but don't know who's watching.

[Moody Blue Legend 61,478]

Justin Fashanu.

[FernandoR20 2,133]

Bobby Sands, always hungry for the ball.

Bobby Sands, always hungry for the ball.

Doesn't beat Phil he was a heartthrob.

[Creampuff 22,628]

I was a Paul Carson in goals; pulled off good saves, but very often cost us the game with a howler.

Outfield I was a bit of a Lee McCulloch, I could play anywhere but never with anything other than nominal success.

[cameron1873 511]

As a player teddy sheringham

But more like Roy Keane mentally. Would do anything to win.

That's me being modest

Can you play the flute. Are you likely to turn up with a chicken and a fishing rod in someones time of need ?

[tannerall 25,935]

Many compared me to a young Roberto Baggio.

A two year old Roberto Baggio ?

[tannerall 25,935]

Kirk Broadfoot.

Useless in the kitchen ?

[tannerall 25,935]

Kyle Lafferty, I'm a lanky bastard that can take the ball past folk, my finishing is awful on the whole but every now and then I score a fucking screamer.

Often played with players upfront like that, they seemed to have such natural talent, just not the consistency to move up a level. Could never figure why they could not get the consistency as in 5 a sides and kickabouts they were usually brilliant.

[JamieD 18,948]

A two year old Roberto Baggio ?

Aye, thereabouts.

[tannerall 25,935]

Phil O'Donnell

Dead good player. Was sorely missed by many.
