    Me - turn out for my work's team when they are desperate for players - 36 years old and still think I am 21 - and suffer everytime the day after but love it.

    have run a sunday club in the Kent Suburban for about 11 years now, doing my level 2 coaching in the next few months.

    haven't really played in other 2 years, knees shot, but could patch myself up for a game.

    32 now and still playing (although currently serving a suspension!!)....played for the same sunday side since I was 17 with pretty much the same team, had a 5 year spell where we were quality and won everything we could in our league, however the trouble now is that we are all getting to the same age and chasing those young'uns around is getting harder !!!

    One here, although it was mostly for cover. But when our teams first choice keeper left and because I'd played Gaelic football and knew how to catch a ball, I was given the job full time.

    Manged two full seasons between the posts before a centre forward during a match at Eden Park, used my chest as a trampoline. Three broken ribs and a punctured lung later, I decided to hang up the gloves for good.

    Easily the most pain I have ever suffered Curb_It.

    I remember lying/lurched on the hospital bed and the doctor saying, "I'm sorry to say that you have three broken ribs and one has punctured the lung".

    I said to him, "thank f**k for that." He looked at me extremely strangely and said, "I beg your pardon, do you realise how serious this could have been." To which I replied, "well of course I do, but If I'd gone through this much pain and you told me I was only bruised, I'd have been seriously pissed off." (you'd have to add the desperate gulps of air in between words for full effect)

    Blimey, that's nine goalkeepers, we'd be unbeatable, assuming we could all fit between the posts at the same time, we might have to think of stacking.

    Being a goalkeeper needs a bonkers attitude, immune to ridicule etc - the same traits required for supporting CAFC, hence the number of goalkeepers on here.

    Played mainly for the Prince Albert on Sundays in the Woolwich and District and in the Civil Service league on Saturdays. Midweek played in a 7aside lunchtime league in Archbishops Park.

    I packed it in at 33 when I was nearly decapitated by a centre forward resulting in ten stitches across bridge of a smashed nose.

    Gave up serious football last season, only play Vets now as 36 although we have played some good Sunday Vets sides this year including Metrogas & Coney Hall. Our side have had 2 defeats in the last season & a half.
