Mid thirties but don't worry. That's why they invented golf.Just wondering as the thought terrifies me!
I'm hoping to follow in me dad's footsteps on this. He stopped footy and started golf at 59, he's now 78 and plays off 9Mid thirties but don't worry. That's why they invented golf.
Good lad - gives me more hope. From your perspective, what do you think when people pack in in their 20s? (Assuming not injury forced). I really can't understand it
Apart from the obvious, no better pleasure in a mans life than lashing a goal in
Day off at the call centre is it? magIf you had used grammar in that post, you may have been able to craft an amusing story.
What a star, brilliant mate.I'm hoping to follow in me dad's footsteps on this. He stopped footy and started golf at 59, he's now 78 and plays off 9
Goal scoring was never my forte, however a nice cruching tackle. Happy days.
Played 11 a side till I hit 50, last few years were a struggle but I had promised myself at 30 I would play till 50. Never had much pace so had none to lose. Stopped at 50 knees and back nowt ower. Put 3 stone on in 3 years after stopping all exercise and training. I knew my weight was ballooning upwards but thought without training I could do nowt about it. Started doing a bit 2 and a half year ago after shocking myself on the scales at 16st 8 lbs. Fighting weight early twenties was 12st 4lbs. Started slowly and lost all that weight in 18 months. Train several times per week now, knees and back o.k. touch wood. In my more delerious moments I feel I could get my boots out again but
A. I would probably be slow, crap and show myself up and
B. Just like if we bought Demba Ba my knee, back, or whatever would just go ping.
Training has now taken over to replace the buzz I got out of football, 56 year old now its not as good as playing but you cannot carry on forever.
My advise for what its worth I was stupid to carry on as long as I did just through being a stubborn tw@t and playing with ridiculous injuries just to say I played till I was 50 I did my body no favours.
I am however quite proud of the fact that I did.
Some of my ex team mates who I still see packed in in their twenties with nowt the matter with them. Basically I despise them for that, they could have lent me their knees so I could have carried on.
I dont know how old you are mate but play on as long as you enjoy it, your body holds up and you still contribute to the team.
