I play football on a Saturday in the Boston league and help out a Sunday team if they're short. I did play county tennis in my teens! Very enjoyable but my knees and ankles weren't upto it!

I played pocket billiards a lot when a kid,

Played a bit of tennis in my thirties but was not very good at it.

Apart from the obvious footy, cricket etc I also played hockey for every unit I served in or on. On my first ship (back in 1986, I loved my sports and had a good boss that gave me time off for them, footy, cricket, swimming, golf.  One afternoon I was asked by the ships Physical Training Instructor if I would play hockey as they were short.  My reply was 'if I wanted to play hockey I'd have joined the WRNS'.  My boss told me in no uncertain terms that if I wasn't prepared to help out when required he would reconsider letting me have time off for when it was for sports that suited me. Knowing when I was beaten I trudged off to help the team in a 'girls' sport.

Anyone who has ever played hockey will know that I could not have been more wrong !!

Still preferred footy but loved hockey as well.  Back, and knees have now decided that I can no longer do either.

Another eye opener for me was Rugby League,  Basically a series of 'grid sprints' whilst occasionally getting twatted by some bloke twice my size.  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

The chief at Faslane Civvy was brilliant at getting me extra time off because I represented Faslane at Boxing & Football, I used to get extended long weekends for taking part in the sports, I was away on the train every Thursday by 1100hrs, great days mate.

Oh Grimsby Grimsby
