12 RULES OF FOOTBALL WHEN I WAS A KID...

General

  1. The fat kid was always the goalkeeper
    (that was me).

  2. The owner of the ball decided who played.

  3. Penalties were awarded only if an injured player
    cursed a lot.

  4. The match only ended when everyone was
    tired.

  5. No matter how many goals you scored, the
    winner would be determined by the last team to
    score.

6.There were no referees and lines men. You could run
with the ball even behind the goal post.

  1. If you didn’t participate in repairing the ball you
    were given a match ban
    .

  2. If you were picked last, you were considered a loser.

  3. The guy who’s never picked was to fetch the
    ball from the tree when it got stuck or under the car
    to be allowed to play in the next game.

  4. When the owner of the ball got annoyed, game
    over.

  5. You were allowed to change a goalkeeper in
    case of a penalty.

  6. The most skillful player got automatic
    selection.

I was almost always picked last! And without game uniforms one side had to remove shirts for identification in action! To my chagrin I always had to remove my shirt which was torture to me for obvious reasons!
