My boys first session back in training for a year and he can do things at 9 that I couldn't even when playing every week. 

 

Pity he's that small he'll not get noticed by anyone of note.

 

Small, fast, tricky and so one footed it's untrue. Like watching a mini Almiron.

 

On my ability...well that pretty much sucked balls. When I could actually run I was a pain in the arse defensive midfield terrier prone to a card or two. After destroying my knee in a totally not alcohol related incidence I turned in to a lazy git who would pick a pass rather than moving. On the plus side it meant I could take a wicked free kick based on accuracy instead of power

For those who still play, what boots do you wear? I've been wearing Mercurials and Speedportals, both below elite level, where sometimes my touch is rubbish. Just bought some  Copa Pure 2, Elite, and looking forward to seeing how it goes playing in leather again.

I wear Adidas Sambas. I only play on Astro and they’re great. If I was going studded, I’d go Nike Mercurial as they are extremely light. 

Cool. There are a lot of Sambas kicking around that look nothing like the ones when I was young

Only own astro boots now, can't imagine wearing proper boots ever again. Had the same pair of Nike Magista X for about 8 years, love them. 

If you can do astro, you can do turf!

I'm no longer allowed to play in goal at the weekly 5-a-side. I was too immense.
