My old man used to repair our shoes. He would cut leather and nail and glue new soles and heels on. The trouble he should have stuck to the day job. He was a shit cobbler. Half way to school and either a heel or a sole would fall off.

Back home he would accuse me of  being rough on the shoes and playing football in them. The truth was I used to take   my shoes off and play in goal rather than wear them because they always fell apart.

I remember once there being football  trials for the county. You had to have proper football boots to get on the field. I had to borrow a pair from my cousin, but they were two sizes too big. Eventually I kicked them off and played in my socks. To my  surprise I got selected,only  because the teacher said I was a trier and he was impressed with my crazy aggression to mix it in defence with no boots.

The good old days? Were they f**k.lol
