When I was a boy.......................

Which admittedly wasn't yesterday there were only 3 rules for the game in the park.
No poaching
No hacking
No toe bashers.

And nobody wanted to go in goal unless somebody had a pair of gloves.
Games were 6 goals and change ends with 12 the winner.
A shorter game after that until it got dark.
There was always one guy who had a different score from everybody else.
No referee required.
Whoever lived nearest had to provide drinks of cold water afterwards.

Does anybody remember playing two touch which was played if not enough for a full game.

I remember having milk bottles full of water.

Kind of grubby milk bottles.

Happy days.

Still remember the time all the dads came to get their kids in and before you know it they all went and got their boots on and we played till about 1 in the morning with 30 a side. What a game.

Building goals on a bit of grass and you just wanted to play at them for hours n hours n hours... Then some can always knocked them doon 😞
