The time has finally come for me to hang my boots up for good.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320262813371&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=011I would have loved to have finished playing on a high, rather than leaving the pitch and hopping into an ambulance, but this is the way of things in sunday league football I suppose. I am still having issues with my knee now and I can't see myself ever having the same determination on the pitch. Knowing that the cruciate tear could rip entirely at any moment is very unsettling, given the pain it caused me.
I've been playing football for the last twenty years as an amateur sunday league player, so I've had my share of Promotions, Relegations, League and Cup Match defeats and Victories, Cup Finals, Trophies and Medals,
Injuries, Goals! But not a single booking or sending off.
I've got a few things to hand over to the team, one of them being the Captain's Armband. I'm sure that Milesy will make the right choice when he picks the next Captain.
There is training this Sunday (22nd June) at Blackshots at 10.30 am.
