I'm surprised you have stayed so good looking

I'm surprised you have stayed so good looking

I'm a bit like Barry Sheene underneath the surface, I've been rebuilt all over the shop, I think I've had something like 50+ stitches in my face over time and 1 skin graph, that along with the loss of my 2 front teethe which was actually a head butt in the ring, I had a very good record

I was never carved out to be a model, although apparently I was a looker when I was young before I took up contact sports and joined the forces. :smirk:

Kinda reminds me of someone else.......

I cannot stand football. Overpaid bunch of prima donnas.

Yeah but it was easier to lump it in with golf as it was the obvious first answer to the original question!

Rugby league for me

Massive Wigan Warriors fan

Another Wigan fan here, converted from Union by a Wigan fan, hence the allegiance before anyone starts on about glory hunting. Used to follow speedway as well, but lost a bit of interest when Wimbledon closed & went to Eastbourne, losing more next season as Eastbourne have dropped into the National League.

I used to do quite a bit of fencing, went through a period of trying to play squash and the same with badminton, both purely to try and keep fit.

Now it's just golf but I can watch just about any sport apart from football, which to me is totally over-hyped, I'm firmly in the CliveW camp on that one.

I took up lawn bowls last years.
Love it, wished I had started years ago.

Too old for anything else!
Gave up rugby, athletics, and football as a teenager to play golf.

Same for me, just bought a new bike and it's good to be back cycling.

Some great hills round your way Glyn

I'll happily watch most sports, did play football for a while but had to stop due to work stuff. Still play some pool and snooker on occasion.

Rugby Union and my interest grows with every game I watch and the more I learn about the game. Started following Glasgow Warriors in earnest almost 2 years ago having really just been a 6 nations watcher for years.

Some great hills round your way Glyn

I am loving it, Map my ride says I have climbed a grand total of 6ft in 20 miles

Went up to Inverness the other week, My legs died climbing some of the hills on the black isle.

I climb more than that getting out my drive!!

If you are ever down this way for a meet, stick your bike in the car and I'll go out with you. Some fantastic cycling areas round here, New Forest and the Purbecks are both great :thup:

Haha yeah!

Been up it twice, 2nd time was in a sportive with a photographer sat at the top. Bet he got some great pics that day

 

[Paul_Stewart]

Played baseball from 1987 to 2000 and made the GB squad in my early days. Still love the game and will be out in Tampa for a week in March for spring training games.

Been a Tampa Bay Bucs fan since 1982 and have run their British fan club for nearly 30 years and worked in the media on the sport including presenting the NFL coverage for Sky Sports in 2002. Now proud to be supporting the officially worst team in the NFL after their 2-14 record in 2014.

Playing: 8-Ball pool. Used to play superleague/county and plenty of team tournaments "back in the day". Just for a bit of fun these days. Play snooker in a 3/4 table league more for a night out than anything. Enjoy a run and cycling but again for fun/fitness rather than anything competitive.

Watching: Formula 1 most races but aside from football dip in and out of other sports, nothing really grabs me and wouldn't call myself a fan of any .....even golf (only really watch the majors). It's darts this week......could be anything next week!!

I just googled that 25% gradient.

I will enjoy that

 

[Lambchops]

Golf is the only sport I play now - up until last year when I had my jaw smashed in 2 places playing football that was my No1 sport.

Watching wise I still rarely miss a Sunderland match on TV/Stream and enjoy going along to the FC Brno matches - occasionally go to Kometa Brno Ice Hockey games as well but tickets are hard to get for the decent games

 

[Leftie]

Still play squash and racketball (after a fashion), and can be seen a few times a week hobbling around a golf course.

Enjoy watching rugby, both codes, and the occasional game of lacrosse where it's good to meet up with ex-playing mates.

Don't get me going on football.................

I now run, nothing serious just to keep fit. Golf and the gym.

I used to love fell runnig, not competitively but ran 12 miles 3 times a week in the north york dales, or around the moors east of rochdale. I also did a lot of outdoorsy stuff, climbing, hill walking, bouldering, canoeing etc... on top of that played football 4 times a week.

Feel unfit when I look back, was talking to a friend the other day, he said he rides around 3k per year, I used to walk and run more than that so am now going to ramp up the miles running to at least 50 per week and keep on at the gym (not to get big, just quicker and stronger) I'm 6 weeks into a 3 month programme and feeling better for it, missed 2 sessions and felt bad for not doing it.
