kjb36 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 A mate of mine was in the game a few years back, I signed him and he went on to become an England regular after about 4 yrs. Which was pretty funny because IRL he quit the following year to follow a different career path. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day-y Man Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 They were 2 years above me but I went to the same high school as Micah Richards (Man City) and Seb Hines (Middlesborough).

I also used to play for the same team and was good friends with Jonny Webb (Leeds) and Liam Ormsby (Harrogate Town FM09) I don't think Liam is in the game this year though.
