The world's most handsome man
Hello all,
As I was running laps tonight with my local footy side for preseason I got thinking, what does your side mean to you?
Did you ever have a big affiliation with a club in your youth?
For mine, they took me in as a 16 year old and have been playing 19's since and have seen the seniors come agonizingly close to the flag this season.
It's the home away from home, place I've ran around 3 times a week, where I can be me and not worry about impressing people.
When the final siren goes, we walk in and sing the song, hop in an ice bath, then stand in the line at the canteen for a coke and whatever hot food happens to be warm.
I don't know how long I'll play there for, I'm not naive enough to think my whole career but it'll always hold a special place to me, as I'm only turning 20 next month it's been a big part of my life.
So, is your local club somewhere that is just the closet ground to your home, a special part of you, the place you coach, the place you played and what sort of playing/coaching career did you have?
Over to you.
