I’m 35 and have just hung up the boots – AGAIN ! To many prior injuries, Monday’s are tough ! over the years i’ve had numerous 2nd & 3rd dregree ankle sprains – both ankles they blow up if I stand to long after a hard run ! knee surgery twice plus an arthroscope. Fracture sternum and clavicle (collar bone), broken radius & Ulna left forearm – twice ! Open dislocation left elbow with detached brachial Artery requiring veiness grafting from left groin ! (Still all good down there though !) Lumbar Vertabrae sometimes misaligned – not too bad though, broken nose (customery) numerous cuts to cheek bones and eye lids.
I think it is time to just remember the playing days ! How many injuries have you had (or a friend or husband etc…) and would you do it all again ?
