By that I mean current Premier/Championship/League 1/League 2 grounds and NOT Non League.

For me it's only Luton Town and Peterborough Utd's grounds.

And at Luton's ground I scored a 'worldy' in the top right hand corner at their Oak Road end 😊

None.

But played at Gawthorpe in a youth tournament in the 70’s. That’s the best I’ve got.

Just the one for me and at 53 and i am unlikely to improve on that. If it is to be the only one, then it is the one i would want it to be. Turf Moor.

None one played at Gigg Lane then. At one time it was said it had one of the finest playing surfaces.

Turf Moor & Bloomfield Rd for St Teds in the Keighley Cup & Lancashire Cup.

Is this thread a cunning ploy to find out which posters are secretly Burnley players coming on here to check the comments? :D

I sneaked onto the hallowed Turf whilst cutting across the back of the Longside to get to Junior Clarets in the old gym. Does that count?

Trial match at Prenton Park many moons ago, got sent off after 20 mins and that’s where my career ended. :)

Just Deepdale’s plastic for me. Helped my school’s youngsters warm up on Madejski for a national final.

Ewood Park for SMC we vanquished the great unwashed from Shadsworth High. I had the good fortune to play in the same team as the late great Dave “Haggis” Hargreaves.

Stamford Bridge, charity game for Cystic Fibrosis Trust. May 2010, Tuesday after the general election. MPs v Celebrities plus "pay-to-play" donors. I was one of latter (but, everyone knew that). Chelsea had just won the Premier League and it wasn't too long after our "capital punishment" triumph. Andy Burnham is the only MP I can recall. Mark Bright was one of the celebrities. Cameras were at the game and I was in the "5 second" piece on the 6pm news when the MPs scored their only goal. The 10pm news was full of Gordon Brown resigning and David Cameron becoming PM - otherwise CFT had been promised a longer spot on the 10pm news, which I was planning to watch and record. Oh well, my one shot at "fame" gone.

I think I played at Chester in the Welsh cup. Or was it Shrewsbury?

Played on quite a few Welsh grounds.
