santy001 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Ryan Shotton at Stoke is a lad I spent a few years of high school playing against where he was a striker for his school side and I was in defence. In year 11 went for a sliding tackle on him, got the ball off him and as he carried on he stood on the side of my knee and ended my playing days lol. Also Ryan Connor and Andrew Nicholls also at Stoke in the youth team, lads a couple years younger than me, went the same highschool, live just round the corner and have both been mates of my brother in the past and have been in my house a fair few times etc. My cousin is a youth player at Havant & Waterlooville, he isn't in the game but had his ankle snapped courtesy of Claus Lundekvam last season lol.

gunner86 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Someone I play football with (not a pro btw) used to be Harry Redknapp's postman. Also, my little sister was at school with Jamie Redknapp's nephew Joe (son of Mark Redknapp). This is all true, and not a wind up like some of these are. I live in Bournemouth, a place where the Redknapp's have some roots after Harry's spell at the club (he lives in Sandbanks just round the corner), and owns a restaurant just round the corner from my old house.

MontanaMagic Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I knew Daniel Leinar, who plays for Motala AIF in Sweden, when I was younger. His then-girlfriend was in my class, and me and Daniel were out partying together a few times. Haven't seen him for about 12 years though. And then of course we have Kim Källström who plays for Lyon, he was never really a friend of mine, but we were acquainted. He knew some of my mates when we were around 16 and I met him a couple of times. Already then it was clear that he would become a great footballer.

Chasing Lamely Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Half my school team are in the game; I'm the only one who turned (semi) pro who didn't ever make the game. Damn you SI! But look the following up, they've all been in previous versions for sure, don't have FM10 yet, so haven't looked them up myself: Dwight Ciampoli - was at Oxford Richard Claydon - Same, went to Oxford City briefly, now plays for Wantage. Mark Brind - Was at Wycombe, now plays in New Zealand. Aside from my school team, I'm friends with a lot of the Oxford team and a few ex-Oxford players. Joey Beauchamp, king of drink driving and ****ing his money away at the dog track as well as a former Premiership left-winger, is family. I have, at various stages, come across the likes of Matt Taylor of Bolton fame and Dexter Blackstock, against whom I played a few times as a youngster. I was actually on trial with him at Oxford. I also played at the same tournament, though we weren't in the same age group, as Theo Walcott. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't say he is a mate of mine though ^^ I play with some ex K-League guys on the weekend in a competition, not on my team though and pretty much they weren't superstars but they still a level above most of us ^^ Anyone played seroiusly against a superstar before?

erik86 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 As a youngster I played against Colo Halit who is in the game and plays for Dalkurd in the Swedish League 1 equivalent. Back when I played him he was 1000 times better than any other player our age in the area. He had trials for Man U and Reading, turned pro briefly with Molde in Norway but ended up in the Swedish lower divisions. Shame really because we all thought that he would turn out class.

JimbobWWFC Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Shame really because we all thought that he would turn out class. The same with me and my mate. He was miles better than anyone else at school (we were alright too), and many people had trials at local teams, but it was clear to us that he would make it. And it was kinda sad to hear that they let him go. He then played a bit for smaller local teams before quitting altogether Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was kinda sad to hear that they let him go. He then played a bit for smaller local teams before quitting altogether Yeah Colo was immense back when we played against him. I saw him play in a friendly for his then team (Brage) against Reading in Sweden and he ran the show. He went on to have a trial but for some reason it didnt work out. He still has a small chance but he is 23 now and did his knee ligaments back in the spring. I for one hope he goes pro coz I can then say "I played against him" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phnompenhandy Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Since this old thread has got a bumping and been revived today, I'd like to add a suggestion. I don't know anyone in the database, but I think it would add interest if people were to comment on the daabase's attributes, personality descriptions etc. E.g. do you think your mate is better or worse than the game rates him? Does the game rate him 'determined' when you think he's a lazy git etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
