After retiring from football in my mid thities, thats soccer to you, we started playing five a side in a school hall, anyway i started swapping tackles with a bloke, i was a robust player, it got a bit nasty.
Anyway we occasionally played on the artificial pitch at Birmingham University, and i was chasing a ball into a corner, and i heard steps behind me, i didnt know it was him, he took my legs away, and i was going to land on my bum, on what seemed to be concrete.
The automatic reaction is to try and save yourself and i did by placing my left hand under my bum, which i then landed on full weight, i fractured my wrist. It hurt for a long time, and i had some humourous comments on my caste.
I hadnt broken anything before that, i thought a fracture would hurt more, it was a dull ache. Another time i was playing football at primary school, took a shot and hit the post, it rebounded along the goal line, hit the other post and came out. Such is life.
When i was at school we had to shower after games, did you chang?, how did that go?
