I once used to play with a semi pro footballer who was amazing - that good - and dare I say it - he had skill to grace the premiership..
5ft 8 ins - 18 stone (from the age of 16-24) naturally a brick 5hit house built didn't work out, huge shoulders, huge legs etc. etc. not slow, but not quick either, - had an amazing football brain, could play with either foot and was almost impossible to get the ball off due to his size/skill (could hold the ball up forever) great touch etc. etc.
But.... he always got overlooked by "scouts" due to his size but did play semi pro until about the age of 24, he also to my knowledge had a trial with Reading too (this was over ten years ago before there premier league status ).
His football career never really took off and he went off to america as a football coach and I think is now still doing (this (10 years later) - a waste of talent imo.
People should never judge a book by it's cover, skill, play making ability and strength can offset speed imo...
Me - i play 5/6 a side once a week and use my strength and speed but I have zero skill.
On a side note - football is also at grass roots full of nepotism... but that's another story !

Eh? Say that to Stoke.
Oh wait, you're right.
