I played against Steve Clarke's son, don't know his name, a few years back in the Amateur Combination League South, mainly old boys teams. They wore the Chelsea kit as their main kit. I don't specifically remember him as a footballer but they team were a bunch of thugs trying to intimidate, bully and fight their way through the game. A team of unsavoury scumbags.

I was half decent but nowhere as near as good as my dad thought I was. He knew a Fulham scout from his local pub and convinced him to come and watch me but didn't tell me. Unfortunately, I went to a house party the night before, didn't stop drinking until about 5 hours before the game and had about 3 hours sleep. Was so drunk that I completely missed the ball on an attempted clearance, allowing the other team to score and then threw up at the side of the pitch at half-time before being subbed off. Something died within my dad that day.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold... |

Back in the day I played against Wrighty on a couple of occasions, once us both scoring two goals a piece for our respective clubs in a 3-2 cup defeat for mine. They were a division below us at the time! Other players around my league were Paul Elliot ex Chelsea and Celtic, and a few later first team Millwall players who I played against at school level. I had a trial with Blackburn Rovers as a 17 year old, but decided against a move into digs in Blackburn as I had just started dating my girlfriend who is now my wife. So all's well that ends well.
