I played at an ok level till I was about 35 and only cause my legs went did I stop. Loved the crack, the experiences, mates and kept me fit. Now I watch city, do stuff with the kids and generally have no regrets about when I stopped which is how it should be.im in relative good health but every knock and every pull takes its toll now. Bit of a bad back and being self employed it was just time to call it a day. Only last december. But i miss ‘proper’ 11 a side football so much and i look at team photos from 18 years old and its yesterday! I played open age from 15-42 so i absolutely smashed it. I could never understand lads quitting at 26 because theyd met a girl or something. They ALL say they wish theyd carried on
Exactly! I was ready to call it a day. I miss it but dont hanker after it because its gone. My point being, just do it as long as you can!I played at an ok level till I was about 35 and only cause my legs went did I stop. Loved the crack, the experiences, mates and kept me fit.

Is it weird that I could smell the alcohol on your breath as I read that?What a crazy roulette of oppurtunities, missed oppurtinities, good luck and bad luck.
I grew up as probably the poorest kid in my group of friends , half of my mates are dead, some doing well, some not so well. Some healthy, some not...how the fuck am I 55 years old, I think like a 20 year old, the body wears out, sometimes the mind...enjoy every moment while you have it
You cunts
Haha, not weird atallIs it weird that I could smell the alcohol on your breath as I read that?
Not me mate, I have the body of a 28 year old in my freezer
You are skywalker and I claim my £10.I’ll be pleasantly surprised if I get to 50. My 20’s and 30’s were spent with pretty unsavoury people in a pretty dark world.
I expect it to come back and bite me on my arse one day.
Not the good one, though. :-)You are skywalker and I claim my £10.
