An Old Man...

...on the Pitch

Having just begun his fortieth year on this earth in November, mad redo1 wonders how much longer he could don the gloves to play the sports he loves most, football. Age has been kind so far that despite the advancing years he still could flung himself here and there trying to prevent some young 'uns from planting the ball past him.

Admittedly he is slower nowadays in reacting to some shots but so far those incidents are not frequent and most of the time his positioning enable him NOT having to get his almost 90kg frame move that much. But in a game of futsal you always have to move a lot more compared wit a game of football.

One thing that could be a factor that he is able to continue playing is the stretching exercise he does to make sure that his body is in 'playable' condition. Thus it is very important for those who keen to continue performing during the advancing years to stretch and warm-up properly even it is just for a kick-about.

So, here to more football in 2011...


NO TURN!
NO CROSS!
NO FOUL!
NO SHOT!
MEN ON!
SHOOT!
