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

    Daley Thompson was very keen to have a go at football when he was in his late 30’s. He even played against my team for Ilkeston.

      I cannot describe how quick he was. I was a sub 11 sec 100 mètre runner at school. He was so much quicker. I remember I was asked to play center back / sweeper when we played him! Did okay, he was strong but his touch wasn’t great and I figured I could nip in front of him and steal the ball. There were a couple of balls hits over the top that I had head starts on and I was sliding to just barely get touches as he caught me up. He didn’t score but they were always tough games.
