Is anyone else here similar to me in that almost everyone else in the family is naturally talented at sporting activities and has played them to a pretty high level, while you slob around in low level obscurity?

Dad: Football for London Schools and Arsenal youth as a striker (very nearly got signed on a pro contract, was told that he could be given recommendations at a lower level, but he told them to fuck off.

Uncle: Football and cricket at a decent club level, had trials with Man United as a left winger in the early 60s.

Brother: played for Fulham in midfield for a while at under 15 level, could play semi-pro if he could be arsed.

Cousin: Played for county (Surrey), could easily have played a very high standard if he hadn't got into booze and partying in a big way.

Grandad: decent club level snooker player

Nan: Once came second in the All England Ballroom dancing championshipd in Blackpool (yes I know I'm stretching the point, but still..).

Me: Never played any higher level of football than Epsom and Ewell Sunday League, not even represenring the league at any point, let alone district or county.

So can anyone else compete with such mediocrity in the face of overwhelming genetic and powers to the opposite?
