Played 5 a side against Bellinghams dad.
And I was thinking “ how would I cope against him on a pitch?”
He was a beast.
Chatted to him, he was a copper at the time.
Never mentioned his son.

John Hollins - it was a fathers v sons match. He was playing for Arsenal at the time and, as you would expect, he was great both on / off the pitch.

In the 70's when I lived in Birmingham one of the Dad's of one of the kids at my school was Ron Wylie - Villa coach and at the school summer fete he'd bring along a bunch of players - so I had a kick about with the likes of John Gidman, Ray Graydon, Dennis Mortimer and Brian Little. A couple of years later he went to work at Coventry City with Joe Mercer and I'm sure that Joe Mercer rocked up when he was England Caretaker manager but can't remember what players came along...
Anyway the kids inc me would have a kick about with the players and then they'd have a formal 5-a-side game versus the dads. My brother played for the Dads in the games against the Team from Villa...

I use to work for a very well known global company and every 4 years they held a World Cup. I was picked to play for the GB team at the tournament in Hungary and we managed to work our way to the semis where we played against Brazil who had amongst their ranks Zico. He was 39/40 at the time and I was given the task of marking him. I was substituted at half time which tells you how well I did, he completely tore me a new one.
They subsequently won the final and at the awards dinner he came up to me and gave me his tracksuit top. He smiled at me and said “ yours for trying “.
I still have it, a horrible green diadora tracksuit top with his signature on.
Before any one asks, he was the brands ambassador in Brazil.

Played in a charity match in 2014.
Phil Neal, Alan Kennedy, Simon Grayson, John Wark, Gary Parker and Clayton Blackmore all played.
As did David Speedie, he was pissed on arrival, and at the pre match handshakes pulled our keeper towards him and said "stay on your line mate, otherwise I will chip you".
Into the second half he had the ball outside the area, looked up and did it. After the game in the bar, he walked up to him and said "what did I fucking tell you".
Despite their age the ex pros made up for their lack of fitness with their ability to know where to be and passed us to death.

I marked Malcolm Musgrove in a match in Torquay. He was twice my age.
Morpheus mentioned playing 5 a side with Alan Comfort. Me too for a few years. A very young Carl Jenkinson also made a few appearances in that.

Back in the early nineties I played in a 6-a-side against Rainer Bonhof and Frank Arnesen in Marbella.
Bonhof was about 40 but solid as a rock, Arneson, in his mid thirties, was absolute mustard.
We didn’t do very well, I blamed the heat!

Dont remember playing against anyone for my old Sunday team played with a few ex pros we had a very good team. Mark Flatts who played about 10-15 games for Arsenal Sparrow (Paul Moran ) who was pretty pony tbh plyead a lot for Spuds also had Steve Morrison who was about 17/18 we actually used to stick in goal half the time cos he wasn’t really good enough to play on pitch tells you how good the team was this was before he went to Stevenage. One other lad went on to be the captain of Barnet but I can’t remember his name. Biggest name that played for us but not very regularly was Steve Sedgley.
When we played in the McAvennie tournament at Upton Park we got a couple of injuries and only had 10 men for a game so Frank played for us what a great day that was.
Went on holiday to Greece and there was a 5 a side game every day which I did not fancy one but until I realised Pottsy and his kids were playing every day Freddie was about 12 at that point he literally sent me for a Kebab in the next village with a step over
