It was only good Sunday League, but when I played behind a very good defence indeed, when we were under pressure we almost never lumped the ball upfield, because we had a footballing, 5'9" centre forward. We tried to break quickly sometimes when it looked on, but we played a bit of keep-ball too. I threw the ball out from goal to find a man ......... the last thing they wanted from me was get it down the other end so their keeper could hit it straight back at us ..... with a man advantage you should always have someone free to pass to (but that's a "should", some players could find a way to get marked on the top of Mam Tor).
