I’m assuming most people here have had a dreams of playing in cup final scoring the winner and such

So how far did you get to reaching such dreams

Did you reach academy levels l or high

I thought of this question because I’ve one of dad’s "oh I could played pro if it wasn’t for my shit knees

    I was 3rd choice goalkeeper for my county U15s, started 2 games and got a handful of sub appearances in friendlies.

    Tbh I never actually dreamed of being a footballer even at sunday league level. For me the enjoyment of football was having a kick about with my mates. I had more fun playing jumpers for goalposts games or 5 a side with my mates than I ever did in any kind of formal 11 vs 11 fixture for the county or my school. I think the last time I actually kicked a ball was when I was 18 on the last day of sixth form when we all had one last kick about. After I went to uni I found myself in friends groups that were not that into football so just going for a kick around never really happened any more.
