The Best In The Business

[Boba Fett]

pretty easy, do what makes you most happy.

[horseplayer]

play football imo

[marcro]

You are paying your bills from the cash grind - play and enjoy the football, participating in a team, etc. while you can. 

[DaveShoelace]

Do the football thing FFS, on losing Sundays or one day when maybe you don't love the pokers so much you would look back on shit like this and regret not doing it.

This last month I have interviewed Moorman, Negreanu and Jason Mercier and all three of them equated their more recent success to having some sort of balance in their life, so there you have it, poker says do the football thing.

Take up rugby

[stumpythefish]

play football and save money imo

Play footy and socialise give it 4 weeks and if you enjoy it stick to it

Excellent, look forward to the game reports, graphs too, obv. 

There must be a photo of him somewhere, in action.

Off to google, be right back.

Poker isn't going anywhere, but your legs might.

HTH

It's only for a month too, so give it a spin and then you can reassess your position. If it makes you very happy, continue, if it isn't doing what you had hoped, you can sack it off and go back to Sundays in the war room.

We ended up finishing I think top 8 in the country.

Pretty funny article comparing me as perhaps the next Alan Shearer when I was 14-15ish? No idea why it says Im a centre half. Funny thing is we went to the park enxt to where I lived and I had to play football with my Dad, he was a big fan and I had to foul him, he didnt really find this amusing. The photographer rang up the next day and said Ive lost my camera lololol. So he came back the next day and we just did the trophy shoot.

Here is me at Southampton the next year, look at the guy two places to the left of me... Hes at Real Madrid and is the most expensive player in the world! Theo Walcott was in this age team as well although was always pushed through the ranks. Nathan Dyer, Leon Best, Dexter Blackstock, Adam Lallana and others all came through the same youth team, pretty insane.
