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

    Average youth player at a semi-pro team but near elite level fitness. Training session got switched one week and no one told me, turned out it was now the senior team on at that time. Coach said I could stay and by the end of the session signed me to the seniors. Few days later came on for my debut at 3-1 down, 3 assists later I helped us to a 4-3 win. I got bought a LOT of pints that night!

    Packed it in soon after for uni. No regrets, I knew my level and I was overachieving based on my physical condition.
