I'm just posting for the fu*king sake as well. Don't really know what to say.
For the record, I was a good standard centre-back when I played years ago. I trialled with Blackpool (could have told TJAMES the answer myself then!!!!) when I was 14 years old and I still wasn't good enough even for them, but I could play a bit, I suppose. No fu*ker was quicker than me over 10-15 yards and I'm 6ft2in. Just didn't have the luck I suppose.
I played in the same Sunday league as Ste Wright. We played against each other many a time and I wouldn't have said he had many more qualities than me. Still a better player than me though (UNDERSTATEMENT). His advantages were he was spotted at a young age, played in the best side in our Sunday League, (as did Leon's brother who was also spotted for Liverpool at a young age) had that bit of luck you need and was trained in "The Liverpool Way". He had a better mentality and attitude than me though.
I haven't kicked a ball since August 2000.
Strangely enough, August 2000 was the month I went to Kavos with my mates where I first found out the joys of cheap birds and alcohol, in a sun-blessed atmosphere, so it kind of killed my 'already in rapid decline' football career, and I haven't looked back since.
So the answer for me is Centre back.
