Loads of kids dream of trials with a league football club, but every night sit with their face buried into Shoot Magazine, crying themselves to sleep each night.

“The coach told me I’m never going to amount to anything” they might sob… “I’m doomed to have my legs broken in pub league football every Sunday because I have an ounce of skill” – Well damn right you will with that attitude… I would intone if I was a well-meaning father. Because they, and everyone else keen on becoming a professional footballer, should take a leaf out of Romanian striker Adrian Patulea’s book.

Keen to impress at Lincoln City, he set about making sure that everyone noticed his hardwork, and presumably his tasty wife too (I’m guessing here – sadly there are no photos) by putting in some serious work around in his preparations."He was spotted by the groundsman running around the training ground with his girlfriend on his back," said manager Peter Jackson. "The trouble is his girlfriend was naked, which got the attention of the players."

Awesome work, and the heroics of a man we would love in the DSOTB side! Patulea, who has played in Romania and Dubai, then promptly scored a second-half hat-trick in his first trial game during The Imps’ 6-0 win over Lincoln United!
