My knee was miles worse than yours has ever been I bravely got it sorted with some complex operations and horrifically challenging physio. I know I’m inspiring you...and that’s important to me.
Youve never mentioned this story before Please do go on... I’m meeting a bird in pub he he not listening to it
Bustard, and I was gonna make a five a side come back in my 59th year... have to be next year when I’m 60 then...
I’m still playing 6 a sides (may have just restarted but that still counts). None of that walking football ****e or old man vets **** but proper full blooded **** against the youngsters, my mind keeps up but my legs argue. Lost the first game but unbeaten since State of my knee after the first game ... real blood that is.
Steady on SCB, being a hero's one thing but having knackered knees, ankles, or whatever at say 70 will be no fun.
I'm 45 next weekend, and started playing five a sides again a few months ago...... After the first week I was walking like John Wayne for a good few days, and my muscles were in such a state of shock I could hardly manage the stairs.... But a few weeks on (barring a thigh strain), I can still run around after an hour, whilst the whippersnappers 20 years younger are vomiting.
please log in to view this image Mine's worst than yours, the result of some twat running his studs down my leg. P.S It was 40 years ago mind.
When playing 6 a side indoors,I just slam the youngsters into the wall when they attempt to dribble round me; for some reason nobody comes near me after that. Easy game this footie. Same tactic I used when I was in my teens, still works! I won't attach a photo of my knee, just in case you are enjoying brekkie!
