    All recent things where I thought fucking hell i’m getting on a bit

    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!

    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! 
  • When you realise that if you were a professional footballer, you'd be close to retirement age.
  • When it just doesn't feel right to not put a mug or a glass on a coaster. 
  • When you see somebody passing you in a mobility scooter and think - Lucky bastard!

    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!
