I’m putting together a couple of 5-a-side teams for a one off game in mid-January. It’ll be in the Eastleigh / Southampton area and I’ve got a couple of places to fill.
Standard and experience is very mixed and on average I’m guessing we’ll be pretty average.
We’re a bunch of late 30s, late 40s and mid-50s blokes (and one female).
After we see who can still walk the next day, we’ll probably enter a team into a local 5-a-side league.
Well, this week we’ve had Lou’s fire thread, now Bletch is arranging some footie; all we need now is someone to organise some greyhound racing on the beach.
Unfortunately I am unfit, overweight, with fucked knees and an agressive on the field personna that involved multiple sendings off - think ‘Benson’ physique crossed with the ‘Whacko’s’ attitude… so the fact I live 450miles North is probably a good thing?
If this old and knackered frame is indeed a welcome participant, then I suggest you aquire a mannekin and dress it appropriately and stick it in midfield… given my mobility in this area, I suggest that any difference between this and the real me, will be of little significance or consequence. However, it may become evident that it is indeed only a ‘fake’ when back in the pub.
