Your most embarrassing sports failure

[John Barnes]

Jordan Pickford has made a career & there’d be some who wish he’d followed your example

I wiped out Natas Kaupas in the south of France when I was 16.

Was on holiday in Lacanau with a skate pal when randomly the quicksilver world tour turned up accompanied by the Santa Monica airlines skate team.. Natas was their leader and one of the top skaters back then.. we followed them around watching them skate and I was brave enough to attempt something.. only to lose control and take Natas out. It was embarrassing but at the same time feckin awesome..

not sport but sport related. Getting physio in hospital after ankle ligament injury in a packed ward. The fella asked me to hop and I was halfway down the ward when he shouted

'HOP ON THE SPOT'

Played at Boundary Park at Oldham when they had the astroturf pitch, was post season, but having trials at the time, put thru, on goal, just the keeper to beat, on the edge of the box, and my foot got caught under the astroturf, the ****ing stitching had come undo and I got my foot bloody caught, stretched my knee ligaments and I looked like a right ****

Holy **** I’m surprised Refs let teams play on that **** astroturf.

I played in a crap 5 aside team with some mates in college so have a fair few stories from that time, one that sticks out is from one of the last games we played. We had played something like 3 season of 12/14 games and my mate had never scored a goal. This game he hits this shot which defects off two of their players, the post and goes in off the back of the keeper, he goes around high fiving all our players and subs and acting like he's scored a last minute winner in the cup final, his goal had taken us from 6-0 down to 6-1 down with about a minute to go

He was probably thinking if the rest of you had of scored we’d be right in this match, and rightly so

I scored a brilliant try in a rugby union match many years ago – with the wrong ball !

I get chucked out the back of a ruck out in their 25 and there was the ball right there – so I pick it up and start running, jinking through their backline, no-one is following me – I’m thinking ****ing hell boyo I’m that fast they haven’t even seen me. Anyway, I score – thank god I didn’t do the big dive - and turn around to see everyone laughing at me. It was the ball from the next pitch – what made it worse was it was one of the higher level valley teams in a cup game - a couple of hundred people watching that game in hysterics – even the ref from that game came up to me after – he was still laughing.
