I now play 7-a-side football every Monday night with a bunch of local Faversham types (including two ex cons) who only ever seem to go to London to see their mates box in unlicensed fight clubs in Bethnal Green.

They've nicknamed me "Pull back Paul" due to my prediliction for a by-line cut back. I almost burst with pride
Because I'm 46, my eyes have gone and I played at a reasonable enough standard that I always swore I wouldn't be one of those old *****s who hangs around playing in the stiffs with kids and similarly ancient types. Plus, everything in cricket apart from the batting and the banter is either sh*t (fielding) or I'm sh*t at it (bowling).

And are you sure they aren't calling you 'Pull-back Paul' because they've noticed you're circumcised?
