look at me 17:35 - Dec 8 with 2818 viewsgiant_stow

At 7 pm, I head off to rejoin the world of footy to play in a trial for a "seniors" (bludy cheek) football team.

Very nervous and hoping there are plenty of scouts watching as although I'm 46, I've never really used my body for much, so there should be plenty in the tank for the professional game. baby steps though. Must remember not to smoke in front of the coach.

At 46 are you even able to run?

Best of luck.

The honest answer is I'm not sure. probably for a few minutes - any more than 10 counts as a success.

The last time I played, aged 49 and a half, my legs went after 45 minutes...

Enjoy it, I get an indescribable thrill just kicking a ball back to fathers and sons in the park.

"I've never really used my body"

I'm sure your family have though .

Good for you. 46 is nothing, as long as you're happy being out of breath just when getting your kit on and taking 4 days to recover after a warm up. It'll take a lot longer to get up to fitness, but you'll get there.

Poll: Do you think Pert is key to all of this?

My dad informed me the other day that he regularly runs to his local shops and back, a round trip of a mile. Doesn't sound that impressive until you realise he's 84!

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Good luck and have fun.

Steady though, if your chest starts hurting it might not be that kebab from lunchtime.

Just take on board any signs.

If you don't listen to the coach for anything else, make sure you do so for the warm-up - and pay particular attention to hamstring stretches ...

I just called Paul and he said he’ll sign you - doesn’t need to even sent a scout down. You’re on the right wing on Sat afternoon.

Match report:

I survived.

The warm-up only left me breathless - not bad hey? My legs went about 5 mins into the game, at which point one kindly gent told me "if you can't run, just stay back". Managed to last the hour like that.

Made plenty of cock-ups but also a couple of decent though balls to those able to run, including an "assist".

The star of the show was the player-coach who despite being 64 was fit as a fiddle and could clearly have played another hour.

Brilliant fun all told - reccomend it to anyone else wonderring whether to try it!

The last time I played at 49 my left achilles snapped and I spent 7 months in a boot, I took that as a message. I still jog occasionally but that's the limit of my exertions now.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

Still walking? Scream one in the top corner from 30 yards? Or trip over your own feet and take 5 mins to get up again?

My back's killing me (!) but no other trouble. I did trip vcer a guy who was a bit of a ringer (strong as an ox and not looking a day over 40) but that was all.

I'm 35 and have already moved to centre back from target man at 6 aside. A sprint every couple of minutes, keeping it nice and simple at the back and loving it.

Lost 8-2 Monday.

Nice one. What is it about playing that's so good? No idea, but its the best sport out there.

Yeah it's a lot of fun, although I wouldn't even bother trying a proper 11 aside game.

Nice to see you got the assist, perhaps they should stick you into a 'Dunga' type role where you don't actually have to leave the centre circle?
