It's ok if you can keep going, but I always lacked some of the basic football skills and relied on reading the game, pace and commitment. After the injury I could still read the game, but I lacked the pace to be where I was needed, and didn't have total commitment to every tackle as I knew one bad one could be the end. It basically reached a point where I was a liability on the pitch.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

As you could understand, playing in goals made it easier (in that I didn't really rely too much on tackling or speed, more positioning, reflexes and yelling at people! lol)

I used to be an opening bowler for my cricket team, but I can't put that much pressure on my knee anymore.

Swimming all year round
Running all year round

Although i have had surgery recently and havent been able to do anything for a month. It's killing me!

Chess 🙂
I used to play floor hockey and baseball.

Only jealous 'cos I can't do it anymore... 🙁

I'm with you Blade. I used to play a lot. Now just golf with a few pub sports (darts pool etc) on the side.

My golf is like my chess it doesn't matter how much I play, or how seriously I take it - I'm still crap.

Cricket
Action Cricket
Squash
Golf
Bowls - Not too much these days, there is no social place to play where I live now...
Darts & Pool, although they should really only count as pub boredom relief.
