    @FellTop was given the run around by a big overweight geriatric Kenny Burns in a football match, whilst @Ozzymac beat a 20 stone athlete in a long jump.
    My claim to fame is playing on Oldhams plastic pitch for SAFCSA and was slide tackling every where. I left the pitch with knees like a chainsaw massacre and as I looked up Roger Palmer was applauding. The Oldham Supporters Association had put on a spread for us in a local pub. However, a few of us went out on the town after the game and were warned that we must be back as the coach was leaving bang on time. We had a bit ructions that night, as one of the Oldham lads met us in town for the first beer and told us where to get the last bus back to where we needed to be to catch our coach home. We eagerly awaited for the last bus and loads of Oldham lads turned up with the aforementioned dick head in front. There was only about 8 of us, so one of the lads came out of a McDonalds hoying milk bottles at them and another lad, who we thought was a bit quiet, ran into them and floored the ring leader who had befriended us. That set the tone arms and legs everywhere and about 4 us ended up together as the cops split everyone up. We obviously had no idea where we were, knew we had missed the coach so we ended up getting a taxi to Manchester airport and hiring a car to get home, although we had to wait a few hours for them to open. My knees stuck to my jeans all the way home and I still have the faint scars
    So my sporting achievement is playing footy on a professional pitch, one round of boxing, a 100m sprint and hurdles over safety barriers, all in on event. My very own Quadrathlon.

    Played international Rugby Union.

    At under 21's.

    For Belgium.

    They don't play rugby in Belgium. I'm pretty sure my competition for the spot had a learning disability.

    Also got the runaround from a knackered old John Barnes, although that was him showing how to sing world in motion, which was much better than my ale fueled version. <laugh>

    Ale fuelled sounds so much better, especially if you are ale fuelled

    Played rugby against the cons at Chelmsford prison as a young 18 year old and didn't get raped in the showers after.

    Never gone through a packet of b&h so quickly before the game

    Good shout, I played cricket against the screws and some trusted inmates inside Glen Parva Young Offenders. Luckily playing cricket you don’t need showers but the cucumber sandwiches with razor blades didn’t appeal to me

    I used to work in Bracknell and a work mate on a local football team used to have to occasionally go and play against Broadmoor. For obvious reasons, they only ever played home games :).

    Why do people pretend to be so offended by slang.

    Drove the green on a par 4 (caught it sweet as a ****ing nut, wallop). The lads in front finishing their putts were a bit worried but gave me a thumbs up when it landed.

    I missed the eagle putt but knocked it in for a birdie. Still finished about 15 over par. <laugh>

    Used to play 5 aside with Ray Kennedy. He was just unbelievable, totally different level. He made us always go for a couple of glasses of red wine before games as it would relax us! He said it was the Liverpool way :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I once got a break of 36 playing snooker, not sure why but I didn't end up playing professionally.

    He doesn’t call himself it nor does he play cricket charity matches.
