    Rugby, alas poor Yorik, I knew it well.

    After 20 years of playing rugby, my playing days are now officially over.

    A damaged anterior cruciate ligament has put paid to my playing days. Whilst in the Army I played for my Corps (Royal Engineers) all over the world, played for Folkestone and laterly my home team of Aylestone St James. I was never any good but played with a passion and loved the team spirit.

    So, 1 pair of excellent, nearly new (and expensive) rugby boots, size 10, free to a good home.

      Sorry to hear you've got to hang up your rugby boots - but you've still got your gardening boots, here's hoping they give you much enjoyable activity.

          Bad news. I'm very sorry for your huge disappointment. At least you have years of fond memories playing. Not much consolation now when you still want to be doing it, but still.

          I had to give up ballet dancing due to an injury, but kept my last pair of pointe shoes, which were unworn. Maybe you should keep your boots, or maybe you're not as pathetically sentimental as me...

                  'Course, it'll be because of how OLD you are now Still, if you ever think a good massage from a geriatric with a blue rinse and a moustache might help, you know where I am (steady! that's a knee massage, of course!).
                  I was feeling part of the scenery
                  I walked right out of the machinery
                  My heart going boom boom boom

                  I've come to take you home."

                    Sorry to hear that Piglet. Got any tips to pass on to a young lad just starting playing? (our 13 year old son started playing for the Neyland All-Blacks last year)

                      Sorry to hear it Piglet but I hope it doesn't keep you off your Allotments.
                      The river Trent is lovely, I know because I have walked on it for 18 years.

                          He wears a size 6 at the moment - wouldn't like to say if he would ever grow to fill your boots Piglet

                          Mind you Aranthos wears size 10 shoes so there is a good chance younger son will get big feet too

                            Bummer for you PW.

                            I am sure you can still persuade the team to partake of your chili concoction from time to time

                            Ebay the boots?
