Getting out of bed in the morning is an achievement for me nowadays.

Thanks Giggsy. I claim the £5.
Good luck in your trial - you'll need it!

I'm not worried about prison. It's the AIDS, that I can't get rid of, that's the real problem. I can't find my birth certificate anywhere either.

Yep, 54 and play twice a week. Ages of the others are from 18 but mainly thirty somethings. Far from the worst player. Fitness to a certain level comes quickly.
Stopped playing 5 a side when I was 44.
Tore my groin over stretching as I nicked the ball past the advancing keeper (wouldn't of minded so much if I'd scored but the ball hit the inside of the post and rebounded back out).
Leg was black n blue for weeks, so I thought it was about time to knock it on the head,
8 years of walking my German Shepherds since keeps me ticking over nicely

Yes but stopped. Can't risk the injuries and the long recovery times.
I'm 60 tomorrow. I'll be running round Derwentwater first thing to celebrate, then lunch with my family at Armathwaite Hall, near Keswick.
I still organise and play football each week. It is anything from 6 to 11-a-side, depending on numbers. The other lads are in their 20s, 30s, some 40s and one or two 50s. Some of the younger lads are really good players, but I hold my own and can give them a run for their money. I can't match their pace, but I stand off them and make it difficult for them to get a shot in. (I play centre back).
I've had injuries over the years, but nothing serious. Shin splints, Achilles tendonitis etc. But I know why they come, and how to get rid of them. My longest lay off was for knee ligament damage, but that's completely healed. My knees are fine, despite all these years of football, and the last three years running as well.
