    When you start liking cricket, when you start liking golf and when you follow through in the pub twice in 2 days. 

    All recent things where I thought fucking hell i’m getting on a bit 
    Just don’t follow through in your cricket whites.

    Sounds like @Greenie Junior should pack for the weekend every time he pops out for a pint

    I was roped into playing football last Thursday (In goal) and only stopped aching yesterday.

    I haven't played for over a year now but my mate keeps trying me to get back into 7 a side. He says just go in goal but I know after 10 minutes I'll get bored and want to come out. I do really miss playing.

    Sorry, the Thursday before that :) I am nearly 55 and I miss playing football. At least in recent years I was involved in it but I am not this year. I feel old! Before 50 you could always look at Stanley Matthews for hope!

    The thought of going to a fan zone and getting covered in beer sounds absolutely horrendous.  That's really depressing.

    According to your team mates that is the only thing you stopped.  ;)

    I have to admit I wasn't outstanding, but I thought I was competent for my age and we won! It was a competitive league game too. The test will be whether I am asked again, but if I am, I will say no. I hope!

    Walking football is definitely not a walk in the park :)

    When you realise you're technically old enough to be our top scorer's mum/dad, and it's not as if he's a spotty teenager either.

    When you've always considered Heart to be a trendy radio station for the youngsters and that assumption gets questioned!

    Some of us are technically old enough to be our manager's mum/dad!
