Pt.1
It was the year 1998. Playing for my local Junior club as an Under 18 player.
We were on good form. Although I wasn't a fist team regular, I liked to help out the manager with his tactics, and benifit from the position I played. My owb tactic, was play as a high defender. So I will have more creative freedom, occasionally going on runs to the oppersitions half.
It worked, but no one took a notice of how perfect it actually worked.
When the club had already won the top divisison, they had a competition in store, who ever wins the league gets tickets to the World Cup in France.
We had to win, but unfortunatley, our striker broke his foot, and we had some under 17's on the bench, so they told me to play up front. We had 5 mins of the game left. The score, 1-1, it would have to go to penalties. The goalie did a really long kick out and the defender missjudged the header, it lobed him, and I ran round the defender.
Nobody was there, just me and the Keeper. I was very nervous and just shot. As I did this I slipped and fell as I kicked the ball. This put spin on it and fooled the keeper. The ball went in and I had won us the cup, and our squad tickets to the World Cup.
Pt. 2
Unfortunally the plane had a crash, and 15 out of 20 people working and playing for our team died. All the players died except me. I went to the world cup anyway but gave the tickets away.
Ever since then I have lived in France.
