I've played a lot of football, ever since I was kid. I'm 35 in July and I've spent most of this season injured with cartilage and ligament damage. I used to play centre midfield in our club's 1st XI but I dropped down to the 2nd XI last season.
My question is this? When do you give up? Having not played all season, I played for our 6th XI yesterday and if, as I get older, that's the standard of football I can look forward to, it will depress the hell out of me. I love playing football, I love coming up against someone on a pitch who wants to win as much as I do.
What will I do on Saturday afternoon in five years time?
