Would be unbloody Australian to not jump on the wagon now lads!!
This Mickey Mouse cup still going?
I actually played goalie for a soccer team one year, in my teens.
I find it boring to watch though. Mind you Rugby is not my thing either!
My sport interests have been Judo and then Archery both for a short time as a kid, followed by Hockey and Soccer in my teens, and then Fencing at University. I dabbled in 2 mile (3.2Km) running in my 20s. Also, Jim Mills, then the pro at Kooyonga, was giving me free golf lessons when I was about 13 - he thought I had promise - but I got bored with that too.
Later in adulthood I took up horse riding for a while, but quit when I reached the point where my coach said I'd have to buy my own horse and ride daily to get any better. I guess I'm a bit of a dabbler and don't get seriously into anything. I was interested riding lessons because I'd actually briefly ridden a Melbourne Cup winner (Comic Court) as a child - two years after he won the cup!
