Well I have the nod. 3.15 tomorrow I will be back on the pitch after a 9 year absence.
Local cup match against a bunch of thugs from Lancashire. I have trained with the team twice this week, fitness wise I am good but the feet are a little slow. I have been asked to play in mid-field and try and up the tempo of the game, easier said the done.
By the way, the team I am playing for have several badly injured players so hence I got the call. Wish me luck, I have good insurance to cover any accidents.

I can’t figure out what you’ll be doing but good luck anyway… unless it’s hunting of any sort!

Football, Soccer, or ' murder ball' as it's known up here..
Thanks O, here's hoping I don't. My wife has already read me the riot act and warned no good will come of me trying to re-capture my youth.

Played my first 11-a-side match (presume you're talking fitba') for fifteen years about four months ago and am still recovering. They gave me the central mid-field role too, but afraid I couldn't quite manage the box-to-box, all action, Roy Keane circa 1999, role I think they expected. Was quite happy to play the second half as a statuesque centre-half. Still - no pain, no gain! Remember that the morning after, Purdey!

Thanks guys. I am hoping I can walk after the first half never mind the next morning.
