In another thread ORM mentions playing for 11 teams during his career, what's your story?
Have you played much?

I played for Hoddesdon town u-11's until u-16's.
Played for Hertfordshire County in goal then switched to centre half for the last 2 seasons.

Played for Runwell hospitals Hullbridge ward 5-a-side team for about 10 games.

Now play for a Scottish 5-a-side team called Thistles Utd here in Joondalup, Perth as a defender. Top of the league all season and have been with them for 2 seasons.

Not very glamorous but its something.

17 teams - 11 leagues !

I started the thread writing it as a full footballing resumé but it was sending me to sleep so I assumed it would everybody else!

The most interesting thing is probably that one of my ex-managers is now a convicted paedophile and his victims were some of my team-mates. I knew nothing of it at the time and am ever thankful that I wasn't a victim.

Also what's the longest people have sticked with one team for. Mine, unsurprisingly, is four season I think.

Well i played for Trinity Juniors from Under 11's to Under 15's (5 seasons) then in the Under 16's Trinity had a lack of players and folded so i went to Shoebury Boys where i played out the season, but hated every minute of it. That was 9 years ago (1995/6 season) and because of that experience i didn't play football again until Shrimperzone FC was formed a year and half ago.

I played as sweeper for Parsloes MAnor. In one memorable game I hooked an incoming corner into my own goal. Moments later the goalkeeper told me to get out the penalty box as I was dribbling round an attacker to clear the lines. Incenced by this rebuke coming from a yid supporter I fired the ball past him, walked off and was banned from playing football at school. The team collapsed soon after losing 19-0 and 22-0 which saw the demise of Saturday morning football over Parsloes Park.

Was that the manager of Seasiders in the Sceptre?

Nope,

It made national TV about seven or eight years back as a major part of a documentary. The biggest scandal being that as a convicted pervert he relocated to Norfolk upon his release and managed a local kids team. I can't remember whether he dabbled again or was caught out before he got the chance.
