Now, I expect to be flamed----- but hey ho. I played 22 years Sunday League rising to the dizzy heights of Div 3. I was kicked off the park every week. I missed no more than 6 matches in all that time.11 years as a no9---11 years as a no5.I also managed the team and washed the fecking kit every week
Footballers like cars...the higher powered you are the more likely you are to break down....Superstar/Supercar injured/broken down regularly..3rd/4th division plodder goes on for ever
