Question for the over 40's on here ....

Case · January 9, 2006

I've played Centre-Back or Left-Back in Leagues of various standard from bloody awful to sub-standard all my life. In my mid twenties, I played on Saturday's, Sundays and midweek (occasionally Monday's, which meant three games in three days) and I was as fit as a butcher.

Last season, I played midweek only and got a full season in except five games from the end the calf-muscle popped and that was that. I now cannot run at what in the old days used to be known as a "sprint" without it going again. Also, the new left-back is better than I was when I was in the team. Obviously, I still have my looks, but basically, football-wise I'm fecked.

Having contributed to these forums for about 18 months or so, I think I can pretty much guarantee a quality of reply which will no doubt take my personal circumstances to heart, almost certainly with a heavy dose of sympathy.

So, my question is ... What outdoor activity, preferably involving groups, can the over-40, previously active male engage in when his park-football career is shot down because of a gammy leg
