A Realisation: I'm getting old

My 11 a-side footballing adventures brought a rather unwelcome realisation on Saturday. In an effort to help shore up a rather leaky defence I volunteered to fill in the left back spot rather than play in my usual left wing role. I suddenly realised this was a definite indication of my increasing age. No longer could I consider myself a pacey young athlete tearing up the wing against older opposition. No, now I was an experienced old-codger putting in a shift at the back. I was actually pretty happy with how I played in left back considering its not a position I've played in too often and considering it was the best team performance we've put in in a while I think I'll be happy playing there for the rest of the season.
