Wish me luck... 21:53 - Aug 31 with 3248 views | sparks | Two big games this weekend. Tomorrow, I attempt to play a full 90 minute competitive 11 aside for the first time in about 8 years. At 15 stone and in mid 40s. I must be fecking stupid and/or love football more than is healthy. | |

I begin the new season training with under 9s on Sunday morning. I think that's going to be painful. | |

Can't play cb. Never have done. Can't head. Am a bit soft. No idea where I'll play though. We're thin on the ground. Guessing I could get lumbered with full back on the basis of limiting the impact of my inadequacies. Played full back about 3 times ever. Should be a giggle. | |

Good luck Bully. Make sure you pace yourself. If you go all out from the start you will be throwing up on the pitch. | |

65 minutes at right back. Couldnt really get involved as I would have liked because if I'd supported up the flank, I;d never have got back to deal with the left winger... One gets used to astroturf. Bobbly awful grass pitches are rather different. I thikn I used ot have quick enough reactions to react and adjust and control the ball on such surfaces. By a combination of age and lack of habit, I no longer appear capable of doing so... | |

Depends how many we have I suspect! My aim is to wriggle my way back into midfield where I belong, and where the few parts of the game I am actually okay at, are able to be employed... | |

Wish me luck... on 18:20 - Sep 1 with 2764 views | readtheleaguetable | Good for you, Mr Sparks. We don’t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing. ( I still play 11 a side in an over 40 league at the grand old age of 64. I will stop when I don’t get picked or when they carry me from the field to the cemetery, whichever comes first.) | |

I wish there was an over 40 league locally. Its not easy defending against 20 somethings who can make 10 yards on me in about 3 seconds! | |

64, that's tremendous....it's usually damn injuries that sideline you at any age but especially over say 35, so you're doing something VERY right! | | | |

Fair play to you mate I played regular league ti, I was 50 and then vets until 55. Our team folded and I'm not sure why I didn't find another I really miss it still now (58 soon) | | | |

Run daily and drink lots of coffee, wine and whisky. Guaranteed health plan! | |
