Hi,
Being a friend of mine like he was when we first joined the soccer team. Together we learned a lot
Being a friend of mine like he was when we first joined the soccer team, together we learned a lot.
It's still not a well-worded sentence, but at least it's a complete sentence.

It doesn't work that way, Clive, because the subject of 'being' needs to be the same as the subject of the main clause ('we')-- but it's not. That's why I recast the sentence.
