C'mon, we've all had them. Memories which you literally cringe when you recall them.
One which stands out for me is....
90th minute in a high school football match. Losing 2-1. It was a nasty temper-flared game made worse by it absolutely pissing down. I dived to get a free kick just in our half (think against Anichebe actually). Everyone darts forward eagerly awaiting me to pump the ball forward for one last chance.
I look up and pick out the 6ft bean pole defender who has made his way to the edge of their 18th yard box. I stepped up with the intention of landing the ball on his head when I slipped and 'David Beckhamed' it out for a throw in.
I remember glancin to the sidelines and seeing a gang of girls all huddled up under an umbrella in hysterics as as I pulled myself up from the mud pool. I decided not to wipe the mud of my face to hopefully prevent identification from any scouts and more importantly, fit girls on the touchline. I didn't dare look anywhere other than my own half were only the goalkeeper was stood, luckily the full time whistle went seconds later and I was first in the changing rooms.
