I played football in the army even playing against some league teams in germany and when I left for a time I played in a local club, then occasionally in sunday league up till I was about 45.Football is a great sport and I love to watch the best of it but I have to agree with many of the comments about football culture and other aspects of the game. It has become pretty grotesque these days.It has without doubt got bigger than its boots lol and is no longer the thrill and pleasure it used to be for me.
