I used to watch him play footy for Tranent juniors as a wee boy, he scored for fun. To be honest I only went for the free pies as me mam worked on food stall 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Gaun the midfielders ye mean Frankie! Closest I came to anywhere near pro-football was going for a trial at Motherwell and injuring my knee at the trial. I remember thinking at the time it was bad but wouldn't be serious. I was wrong! I can play 5s now but sometimes the pain gets to severe to play for the full hour. I reckon I'd have been at Arsenal by now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ascender 352 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Nice one Frankie! Apart from the knee injury obviously... I often wonder just how good you have to be to make it at the top level as none of the players I played with when I was younger "made it". 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adamski Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 seeing as we're relaying our tales of woe ........ was asked to go along and train with the gers SABC under 11s up at castlemilk, despite being the height of shite rattled 4 past their giant of a keeper and got asked to join them for a tournament in blackpool the following week as centre forward couldn't go as I was going on holiday - never went back as my old man couldn't take me up to Castlemilk each friday evening, and he didn't fancy a 10 year old wandering around in a rangers trackie I'm a better full back as well.............. I could have been Alan hutton fux sake 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Gribz says he played with some Dun Utd player when they were younger and he was average. Seems you just need to be lucky and play a few good games when needed. Seemed to work for Chris Burke. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems you just need to be lucky and play a few good games when needed. Seemed to work for Chris Burke. Same applied with Gary Holt. He played in the same team as me at Killie boys club and he was decent but only average. Had a good engine but that was about it. Ended up being capped ten times. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
