About a year ago I decide to hang up my football boots. I wasn't really enjoying playing anymore and I kept picking up niggling injuries which were restricting my involvement. Since then I haven't kicked a ball and I've only been involved as a spectator.
However last night there was a comeback. I played in a 5-a-side game with guys from work and I really enjoyed it. I'd forgotten just how good it was to be out on the pitch passing the ball about and scoring goals. I was a bit rusty at first but I soon rediscovered my touch and was banging the goals in and trying fancy flicks (most of which weren't coming off but it was fun to try). Hopefully I'll start playing again regularly and if I do pick up injuries I may be able to treat myself!
The only down side to the football is the pain I am in today. I've been trying to keep fit through running and cycling but you use different muscles in football and they are all aching. Even my shoulders are sore which I don't really understand. It was worth it though.

Eh?! That's not quite how I remember your performance! Playing for the first time in a year on a surface like the one at Meadowbank was never going to do you any good.
All I'll say is that I was the top scorer on the day.....
