you're six six :O?

Well, I might be rounding UP on that figure :P

I'm more amazed he knows who Peter Crouch is :D

6'6'' eh. Not bad at all if I may say so.

:laughing:

I don't pretend to know a lot of about World soccer - but I follow it as religiously as an American can, with our limited coverage. I've played for 16 years as well; So I guess you could just say it's my sport.

Plus, it's hard to miss somebody like Crouch out there!

Well, I suppose you've got a point there!

Time was when it used to be my sport too - the closest I ever got to anything remotely resembling professional level was when I had a trial for Sutton United (down in south London) some 5 or 6 years ago. And then I discovered cigarettes, alcohol and women :D Plus I was never really any good at it either.

Well, that's awesome to have even had a shot at the bigger leagues, and it makes for a great story now in hindsight! I'm with you though. Never had the false illusion that I was, or am, an amazing footballer or anything- always have just played for the fun of it. However, I am at least quite a bit better than most of those others who are playing "for the fun of it"- so it boosts my ego somewhat stewing around in these recreational leagues ;)

Well, it helps eh. I only ever play in goal on the rare occasion I get swayed to joining some mates in a kickaround these days - I just love all the throwing yourself around that goes with it! Trying to go pro's pretty much a mug's game though. Goes without saying that anyone's chances of making it in the sport are slim at best. Plus I much prefer what I've been doing as a vocation ever since the trial, ie making any old crap up and hoping eventually someone pays me for it (or creative writing as some people call it).

Hell yeah! *high fives* So I'm not the only 5'2"er.

:laughing: I don't know if I'm thinking what you're thinking...

No, I was merely saying that some people might interpret that in a sexual context. One that would be quite embarrassing for you.

I'm pretty sure you were. Either way, you've got a dirty mind.

I must be slow or something....
