P to the Cee

Much like wanting to be in a band, I’ve always had a quiet dream of wanting to play football, in a team.

For the past couple of years, every Sunday, I’ve been playing at our local 5 a side Powerleague. We’re by no means the best team in the league, but we work hard every week to make sure we’re not completely rock bottom.

A season runs for 14 weeks, in all weathers and it’s always a load of fun, if not a bit “rough” at times. Players have had their fingers broken, balls smashed into their…faces and we’ve even had a few near fights.

I’m hoping to carry on for as long as my knees will let me, as it’s not just about the football – £1.50 a pint often makes up for the losses and injuries we sustain.
