When I was at Southampton Technical College 86-88, we used to see a lot of the younger players at the time such as Alan Shearer and Rod Wallace who were doing a course one day a week there.
One of the guys on our course lived next door to John Burridge and somehow managed to persuade him to come and play for our Business Studies Team against a foreign college who were over. Well he turned up wearing an old Admiral England tracksuit (Not sure if he played for under 23's or B team?) and took it pretty seriously. Before the game he kept going on about how much he hated eye-ties (Italians) and couldn't wait to get stuck. I don't think he realised we were playing a German team!
He played up front and from memory he scored a couple a goals. We had tried to get him to play in goal to start with, but he wouldn't have any of it.
Anyway he was a good laugh and a really good sport for turning up. Can you imagine a first choice premiership keeper turning up for an eleven a side, 90 minute college match nowadays? I doubt they would even be allowed to.
