Just what I was thinking. Under 38 years old at midnight on Aug 31st and I'd just squeak in. Another route to the top blocked

Shame they're associated with Swindon College though.  Guess they've got to do something to raise their profile.

basically at Nationwide where I used to work they do a Networks Vs Desktop games.

Desktop and Networks were both pretty short so I got a call and played for Desktops (and scored a good goal, but thats not the point)

Now Connors dad Tony works in Networks, so he played and his son Connor started as sub. Came on and was fucking brilliant, only 14 yet out playing adult.

I was sitting in left back when he came on upfront, he got the ball and I thought I'll put in a half arsed tackle, let the little kid go past me....so I did....I got some stick, second time I thought, right im gonna get the little git....and he still got past me.

Scored a cracking goal, and managed to outjump everyone for a header from a corner...luckily it was cleared off the line!

Looks a proper talent, shame he's so small.
