Hi Everybody,

Made one of my dreams come true this week. On tuesday i played 90mins at elland road in a charity match. Always dreamed of playing there since i can remember and at 35 years have finally done it. And we won!!! in a penalty shoot out. Eddie gray was manager of our team and peter lorimer was the other. Great experience and pitch was fantastic. Still bit stiff though. Paul durkin and steve dunne were refereeing(still giving dodgy decisions). So good think ill have to do it again next year if i get chance. Has anyone else done the same at their club?

Barrett was saying last week that he played at Coventry, Charlton and Tranmere (twice) but I dont think hes played at Everton.

I will however be playing at Ninian Park next Thursday evening. Thankfully its only 6 aside too and we will be playing 4 games at 15 minutes each game. With 10 players in our squad hopefully it wont be too much hard work either!! Nod

They are running a competition from Tuesday - Friday with 20 teams each night split into 4 divisions. The top two from each division over the 4 nights go into a knock out competition on the Sunday then which I think will be the last game played on Ninian Park!

Cant see us getting past the Thursday night though!! Laughing
