Ohhh I've misunderstood the post completely I thought you were referring to the biggest team your team had played against. Hence my confusion at asking Sunderland fans as a Sunderland fan. My apologies
Richard Cresswell (Stoke, Sheff Utd etc...) At school and in the park as he was from the same place as me. I was and always will be ****e at playing. My bro, the Mackem was twice the player he was though but unfortunately discovered fags, booze and women (in the same junior season Cresswell scored over 30 goals from CF... my bro got 52 from the wing).
It was a penalty competition for charity, and I scored 5 out of 5 and won the competition, although I can't remember what the prize was, so it mustn't have been much..
I once scored a header from a Gary Bennett cross. The goal posts were 2 jackets but i still jumped like a salmon to head it home at the back jacket.
I played with Clive "Choc" Mendonca for Sunderland U14s back in 83/84. Also played against him many times in the Sunday Youth leagues, Choc for Doxy Park, me for Ryhope High Fryer .......... and he was always gonna make it as a Pro, was bloody deadly from anywhere in the box ............ ........ and didn't we know all about it at that thrilling Play-off final in 98.
Sammy Ameobi - and he never looked like much at around 15/16. Also Samson the cat when we used to have people on the pitch at half time, Uncle scored a worldie chip over him!!
Played in same team a couple of times with Tony philliskirk (now on Oldham' s coaching staff) also played alongside ex mag Bruce halliday, although I have had Marco gabbiadini in my sitting room for 10 mins
