‘I’ll definitely give it a go until I’m at least 70’ – Mungret’s Ageless marvel Tony McNamara This man is an absolute inspiration to be still playing competitive soccer at 69 - may start using whatever moisturiser he’s using because he looks more like 39
independent.ie
What Tony McNamara has achieved on the soccer pitch deserves to be publicised, especially as the 69-year-old has no interest in quitting yet.

Everything about this Fossa goal is poetry: 1. First time volley down the pitch 2. D Clifford wanting to win a foot race 3. Outrageous chip lift at top speed 4. P Clifford’s cajones to try a lob from 6 yards out knowing that there was no other way for the ball to go in
So "The Paudenka" has become a thing. Great to witness a true moment of genius. What separates the great players from the rest is the ability to weigh up all the variables and in a split second make a decision and execute a difficult skill to perfection.

Seeing as it's Transfer Deadline Day and everyone and their mother is going for a "medical" before signing somewhere. Do many players "fail the vet"? Examples appreciated.
