Sports   (Talk about balls here.)

Hi Owd Codger,
I wish to add to your thread in as much i can remember well a time for instance when my father would take me to Central Park to watch WIGAN , he would oft tell me ""You see most of those player's out there lad""" I said yes dad ,well over half of um work down pit ! I said to him your joking his reply was short and succinct An infatic NO! so that also has me pondering about today's sportsmen ,They are all professional's today i believe , so they don't have to worry about putting bread on the table , They are paid handsomely , their health rigime is second to none , as i say it's a far,far cry from those day's of yesteryear . The point i am trying to say to you is irrespective of the huge amount of games played over a season it pails into insignificence compared to those back then . One last thing that is about me,,, I often say quite a LOT IF GOD HAD GIVEN ME A CHANCE OR A GIFT OF WHAT THEY POSSES I WOULD RUN THRO A BLOOMIN BRICK WALL IF I WERE TO WEAR A UNITED OR WIGAN R.L. BADGE thats all!!
