Ah, I remember the long summer holidays. Jumpers for goalposts, the ball being kicked over somebodys garden fence, burying an arthritic 35yr old woman in a huge ditch we'd dug to mark out the pitch, arguments about whether the ball was over the line, playing on until the autumn equinox sun dipped behind the quartz veined stone we had as a cornerflag, being called home for tea.

You did that too?! Happy days. Remember how we said "The archies will think we did it 'cos she was dead, not that we did it just for a laugh!"
