What did you want to be...

[Paul Reids Sock]

i'm another that wanted to be a footballer, but a combination of lack of talent and many problems with injuries and a disease in my left ankle i am now doing a geography degree ... well i got to uni yesterday.

however i did chat to the boys yesterday and we have already set up a football team!

The obvious answer is professional footballer. For various reasons, I never joined a club, but trained with this group every week. I was one of the better players in the group; whether I was good enough to make the step up is seriously doubtful
I also had a strange desire to be a bus driver when I was younger...really can't explain that!

Now, I'm quite keen to go into teaching. I've recently started doing work experience at a junior school and I've really enjoyed it, so I think that is definitely a possibility for the future.

In sleep i could've worn the thought of being a Robocop or a Columbo. Or the two. Robocopumbo. The electronic fever of one-eyed justice bounding through my steely leprosy, with a wife who loves it when i never come home and snuggles on a Sunday with my partner Doctor Octopussy with his 9 longed legs and unprogrammed hearts.

I always wanted to be a professional footballer, or even for some strange reason I wanted to be a professional athlete. Competing in the Olympics and getting gold medals etc.

 

[Starry]

I just wanted to be a mum and stay home doing housewifey things, so yeah. I'm living the dream.

Never really wanted a career, I did toy with wanting to be the person who cut up jigsaw puzzles though.

Always wondered how they get the scissors round the tight corners to make the little knobby bits.

[desprateseagull]

i want to be... a tree. i had no idea really (same applies now!).

the first job i got was using a 'computer' (offline text editor & printer), which any PC could do quite easily nowadays.. back then we had to use floppy discs that were really floppy, with serial read/write access!

that lasted 2.5 years, before seeing the light, and getting a 'proper' office job.. all downhill from there!

finding some old school reports, general outcome was inevitable- good head for figures, though suffers from poor handwriting (so gawd bless computers!), eager to learn etc..

 

[Superphil]

Wanted to be a fighter pilot in the RAF (Dad was in the RAF) but I'm colourblind so that was a no-no.

Then I wanted to be a farmer till I smelled what a farm smelled like.

Never wanted to do anything else.

 

[Goring Gull]

I wanted to be a pro footballer or a racing driver, neither materialised - not good enough at football, didn't hav ethe cash or contact to get into motor racing - I can drive a bit though.

Also when 17 wanted to be Liam Gallagher - not literally but lead singer in Oasis. I even had the anoraks, hair style, glasses etc etc... Sad.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Only ever the obvious two - Albion footballer or singer in a rock band.

As per the above though, football career never took off due to lack of talent, and to be a singer you need to either carry a tune or be good looking, so I was f***ed!

 

[Nobby's Betamax Video]

A footballer &, failing that, an artist / writer for 2000 AD.

Defo average at the former, painfully poor at the latter.

So I work as a project manager instead (IE got no skills of my own - just rely on other people with skills)

 

[1066gull]

Golf, Tennis, Football, Cricket and failed miserably in all of them and I've had to make do with being a waste of space
