I was left back(yeah in the dressing room)for the Ally's at school, we played the Guzzies on King George V in the inter schools cup, teams could play one overage player back then and there's was Peter Reid, it was 0-0 with about ten minutes left and i was quite satisfied with the game i'd had so far, but Reidy got the ball in their half and done a Maradonna and waltzed around our midfield (twice) and then he was running at me, our teacher on the line, our keeper and the rest of the team were screaming "don't let him get past you" so I'm thinking he'll just swat me off like a fly, so i blocked his run without fouling him and kept my back to goal so i was facing him all the time, then bingo....he's past and running in on goal, the abuse i was getting was terrible so he was in the area and I just wellied him into the air, after wanting to tear my throat out he took the pen and scored and we lost 1-0, afterwards the teacher and my teammates were on my case about giving the winning pen away after telling me not to let the **** get past me under any circumstances.
Cheers Reidy for the memories.![]()
