happened to you when playing football?
I actually find it so hard to think of one. I do make mistakes like every other player would do but not those real big shocking ones if you get what I mean...
I did miss an open goal though but that's surely happened to nearly everyone! It was a shot that my team mate took and the keeper dived for it and it hit the post. It came straight to me and with my right (stronger) foot I erm kind of missed it totally because the ball hit my standing foot (left) and it moved direction.
So I had to bust a gut for the team to get the ball back and make it up! This was 5 aside by the way.
Any 11 aside or 5 aside embarrassing stories you'd like to share?

We were short for a league game so grabbed a few boys out of the local to sit on the bench (with their cans of course). One of our midfielders was injured so my mate stripped his tracky off and pleased as punch sprinted onto the pitch...........................with his shirt on back to front, number 14 on his chest. I only remind him every time I see him.

I scored a hat-trick of own goals in an 11 a side game. The first one was unlucky, the 2nd was sloppy play and the 3rd I was dealing with a long ball, tried to nod it back to keeper from bout 20 yards but didnt realise he'd come rushing out to get it. I couldnt have lobbed him more perfectly if i'd tried. That was a bad day.... At the end of the game one of there players offered me the match ball

Brilliant.
I remember doing an absolutely epic slide tackle on the opposition's right winger right on the touchline, but I hadn't seen the 3-year old lad that was running around just off the pitch.
I caught him full on in the shins and literally flipped him upside-down, I felt so guilty but I had to get back in position to defend the throw so I just shouted my apologies and backpedalled

In my illustrious goalkeeping career, in an 11 a side game, I have managed to concede a throw in. Some clown had a massive throw, absolutely Rooney'ed it past all of his players and towards me in goal, in my attempt to make a simple catch above my head the ball hit my fingertips and took one bounce into an empty net. I then laid face down on the floor and wondered when my life was going to be ended.
I have also got the pleasure of admitting that i have been lobbed in a five a side goal on two seperate occasions.
I sometimes do wonder why no clubs have ever asked to acquire my goalkeeping services again.

This reminded me of a time when, in sixth form we were playing a jumpers for goalposts type game in the local town park during an extended lunch break.
I was always pretty useless at that age, but during this game I managed to catch a fairly sweet volley that flew past the goalkeeper, started my over the top celebration before noticing a girl of about 8 or so that had ran into the path of the ball, caught it squarely on the face and was knocked backwards a couple of feet.
Mum looks over to see me celebrating.... Wasn't happy!
