Football before The Giants

I played in goal for my secondary school team who won one game in 4 years. Guess who wasn’t playing in that game….

At uni’ I played Sunday league football, when I actually remembered to get up in time (I once broke into my home at 3am the night before a game because I had forgotten my keys and my kit was at home. I woke up at the bottom of the window in the morning well after kick off).
