Ah memories, You'd get great pleasure from smashing it square into your mates back, it would leave a massive print. You'd also kick **** out if it in the plastic bag so it would rip and the whoever brought it had to carry it all day.

Tell you what though, in the dry they were awesome.

The bend and dip you could get on them was immense.

Then you'd kick a mitre ball fully pumped up and it'd feel like kicking a brick!

Aye the up and down swerve was awesome. Then the time would come when the baloon would pop out one of rips in the patches and create a Tit, then the lad who brought it would get a huff and blame someone demanding a replacement. Of course tradition being at my school where only arsekissers and lads who wanted to be liked brought a ball. Some would even get a game. <laugh>

Hahaha, yeah, you could always tell the school bag that had a ball inside, all nice and round at the top... thanks pal <ok>

Of course just as the bell went for end of lunch time it would get booted about 200 yards down the road outside of school and the owner would end up in detention for being late back for class <laugh>
 
I remember the goalie kicking it out on Hylton road field and i caught it square on the top of my head it felt as though i had 3ft of my spine stuck out my arse for the rest of the match.

Sorry but link between heading footballs and brain damage? Seriously? Niall Quinn and Alan Shearer seem to have avoided brain damage and I'm pretty sure they headed a fair few thousand, if not hundred thousand, between them!

Do they want to ban headers?

5 of my family have suffered Alzheimer's and 3 of my wife's eldeley relatives have also. None of them headed a ball in their lives.

Seems a little strange this one. I'm all for the MH17 and stuff like that but a guy who used to play suffered dementia so it's to do with header inn a ball? Don't get it myself.

The footballs they used to play with are one thing. But nowadays I reckon it's totally different.
