SolihullOwl79 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Hey guys, Number 8 (in red unfortunately as that's his team colours) my lad Luke playing for Onward Fc under 10's. A future wing wizard for Wednesday. He's a MASSIVE Wednesday fan! Uto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroswfc Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Number 9's a pretty good player also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolihullOwl79 Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Yes the little forward is good. But the team play in Birmingham and he's a proper little blue nose! He got a hat trick in the game. Luke laid up two goals and scored a cracker himself. He's also a natural athlete. He represented his school in the county athletics finals in Warwickshire winning the 400m by 30m! Also winning the high jump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latemodelchild Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Under 10s so year 5 at school is same age as my lad. Some nice play on show there, number 9 and your lad look decent. Bit of a dilemma for my lad at the moment. United have scouted him and he's going to their talent spotting sessions for the next 5 weeks. Did a session last week which was matches against a team a year older. I thought There'd be a step up that he'd struggle with but he acquitted himself well. Will be good to see an actual training session tonight, see what it's like. I'm going to contact Wednesday to see if they do a similar thing but there's nowt on website etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshallovercome Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Reminds me of Reach.......nice video, like the way both teams try to pass it about, looks like they're trained slightly better than in my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolihullOwl79 Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Yeah they train them to pass the ball and play with their heads up. Luke is constantly told to run at the opposition down the flanks. He's quicker than every other player without the ball even with it he's faster than most are without it! Its predicted he's going to be 6ft 4 based on his current height at his age and height of his mother and myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfirtunately Luke didn't go as he'd been off school all week with a bad case of Tonsillitis on anti biotics. The team got thrashed 6-1. Luke wouldn't have been the difference between that score and getting a result but he may have been spotted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) All about the number 9 lad innit. I think you need to throw a football your lads head and every time he turns his back you throw a raw potato at him. That's what I did to my lad apart from I threw a lump of granite at him. He doesn't turn his back anymore Edited January 16, 2017 by HirstWhoScoredIt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latemodelchild Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Yeah I'll be getting hold of someone about him at some point. He had a look of horror on his face last week when he had to put a united shirt on. A few years ago he went to some elite development stuff at Wednesday but he's quite a nervy kid and didn't enjoy it. If he's good enough it'll work out, he's only 10.
