I'm a left footed right back & left back.
People call me Crouch, cause i'm tall.
But i'm a bit like Paulo Ferreira / John Oshea,
Versatile, reliable, determined but just not that good.
I'm also my teams second choice goalkeeper and play a bit like Gomes. Great shot stopper but can make silly mistakes. Ohhh and i'm 18.

I play as CM/CDM, I'm like Park in that I work hard but haven't got great skill or technique.

Can't shoot and don't go forward much, but pass quite well.

Right footed but for some reason get called Malouda

I'm 19.

I usually play holding midfield but my best position is centre half. But I can and have played anywhere.

What about what level you all play at? I play Essex Senior standard, one below the Ryman.

i was apprantly going to be the next big thing, i had everything to be the all round the holding player, i was diciplined like makhalale, but could also beat a player and play through balls inch perfect.

But for some reason i likened to ricardo carvalho.

I am a Ramires type CM/CAM and I score quite a few goals but mainly I am the assist man. I have been compared to Silva and Ramires but not as good of course Scored some nice goals. My favourite was when I skilled a defender and put it on my left foot and scored from 20 yards or so. It was a bullet

I started off as a central midfielder, went back to a holding role, then centre back and fulol back before spending the last years in goal. Played all positions for school teams and weekend teams. I'm a good shot-stopper, one on one but about as agile as a sack of potatoes!!! Keeper is my best position though.

Currently play for crystal palace academy and play RW. Been compared to Aaron lennon a lot because of my pace and dribbling, but also compared to him because of my incosistent/rubbish final pass or cross

I was very good at secondary and uni level, started as a left winger since I was left footed, i could dribble down to the and cross or dribble towards goal. I was so good that i was selected to represent my state for the under 16 national competiton. After the competition was picked as the third best player in the tournament and invited to join the nations under 16. My dad refused, saying he wants me to go to uni and become a dr. At the uni i excelled and was converted to a cf when the coach discovered that it was quite difficult to get the ball from me and i could drible naturally without thinking, taking on 2-3 defenders in the process. At the all uni games I emerged as the top scorer helping my sch to the trophy and was selected to go for screening to join the camp for my countries olympic team, it coincided with my exams and so i didn't go. Even when my uni coach came talked with my dad that i was the best raw talent he had seen and that i should be allowed to go and try and make the olympic team my dad still refused. I scored several goals but one of my best was at the all state competitionfinal where i scored the winning goal from a pull from the rw, a few min to the end of the match, i watched the ball coming but realised it was going to be behind me but without of what i was going to do i leaped into the air, turned and whipped in a scisors kick, the keeper was rooted to the sport. After the match the national u16 coach who was among the guest of honors gave me a letter of invitation to camp.

I play in a 6 a side league full of young 20 year old ex academy players. I'm too old to play anything else other than the Baresi role accept i sweat buckets and Baresi didn't

CM/CDM/CAM... Good passing and vision.
Once scored an Alonso from my own half after the goalkeeper came out for corner in the last minutes (my team was winning).

I play RWB and am a Johnstone type player, good going forward but hopeless defending.

I started off as a right midfielder,. i was good at delivieringg the ball but hopless shooting from that angle and was tried as a right footed left winger.

Despite very unreliable knee joints i had pace to burn and was 3rd faster sprinter within the wandsworth borough

When i got into year 11 i realised tryiing to make a career out of footbal was unlikely to happen givin the problems i had with my knees and never played again

Right footed. Was primarily a defensive mid who loved spraying the ball around a la Scholes (I didn't have the stamina to get up and down the pitch). Just couldn't spray the ball anywhere near as accurate as him :D .

Best goal I scored was a volley from outside the box that somehow ended up in the bottom corner. Otherwise most of my goals come from free-kicks. Loved curling the ball :D .

Got shoved out to the left wing straight after that. My left foot is useless. They just wanted someone who could cut in and get a shot in. Played a bit like how Gerrard does for England where there was no cover for our left-back (didn't have the stamina to get back).

Now that I've wrecked my knee I can't play a whole game of 11-a-side anymore but I play 5-a-side.
