What other sport ?

I will happily sit and watch most sports but, football aside, I'm really into boxing.

I was an egg chaser for years, both codes. Played and coached the same group of lads from U7 right through to Colts/Adult.

My primary sport viewing is football and boxing but I love watching most sport although Snooker and Cricket's not for me. In the early days of Lockdown and desperation for live sport I got into Aussie Rules Football, because Australia got on top of Covid early doors it was the first sport back really. I'm a massive fan of it now and usually watch a couple of games a week. You do get proper massacres sometimes but others it goes right down to the last kick of the match and there is still scope to come back even when your 30+ points down. And obviously it's just so bloody Australian, the commentators, the vests, the players trying to out-moustache or grow better mullets than each other and the club songs that boom out on the tannoy sung by the local male glee clubs.

Must be difficult to play football upside down!

Never played anything to a high level. Like Limerick I don’t watch the Prem. main thing I watch is the Tour de France (mainly the highlights due to work).

I love swimming, outdoors, but don’t do it as a sport. Bit of cycling when the weather’s decent. Do a little circuit which includes a swim in the middle.

Other than that, do a lot of local walking since last Spring. Taken to following rivers round here that flow into the Thames. Lot of points of historical interest.

[quote=1541]I am an active race-walker, even in my mid 60s.  I plan to do more ultra-distance races in the future.

I like watching local amateur boxing.  My mate's daughter (age 11) is very good so I go along to support.  Enjoy all the bouts on a good night. (No boxer is not allowed to lose for 23 years either).

That’s the sport I use to compete in (Amateur boxing) I had 14 bouts and won 10, met some great people through boxing (mates for life) i even made contact recently (January 2021) with an ex opponent from Leeds, we are hopefully meeting up in the summer In Leeds, we boxed each other 26 years ago.

I used to participate in many different sports,
Table tennis,
Badminton
Marathon running
Long distance cycling
Triathlons
Too old for any of them now unfortunately, knees and back have given up on me but really miss those days.

Football has always been my number one sport, but I’m also very keen on cycling and horse racing. As a cyclist I’ve ridden in most of the big sportives, and was one of the oldest participants in the inaugural Prudential Ride London event. I’ve also been a spectator having attended a stage of the Tour de France every year since 2007, and have great memories of Mark Cavendish win three times on the Champs Elysees. Other memorable events include the Giro d’Italia, Milan-San Remo, the world championships in Holland and the last Commonwealth Games in Australia. As regards racing, I never missed a Derby for about 15 years and been lucky enough to see most of the great horses since the 70s. Regrettably, I even missed Town’s Div 3 championship clincher to see Dancing Brave win the 2000 Guineas!  I’ve also been involved in ownership syndicates including ones with Henry Cecil and Nicky Henderson. None of this would even begin to compare, though, with Town winning their last 4 league games and surviving relegation!😉

I watch football and cricket mainly. A bit of Rugby League sometimes (can't stand Union) and sometimes watch the Tour de France. Most other sports don't do it for me.

As for participating. Played footy when younger and did a lot of cycle touring, neither of which I do anymore. Thinking of trying walking football when we are allowed, but my main activity now is walking. Done a lot locally during lockdown but will get out into the wilds when lockdown is over. Coastal paths are a favourite, or walking anywhere in the wilds of Britain, especially Scotland.
