Backyard Wembley... and a Reincarnated Glenn Hoddle

This afternoon my backyard was like Wembley Stadium in London. My son and I were playing soccer together and it was if the roar of the 95,000 strong crowd was all for us. This is what happens when we watch a "greatest goals" football DVD together the night before.

Here is a picture of our "Backyard Wembley" ....the trampoline makes a great set of sticks!

After the DVD I told my boy about my favourite player growing up - #10 for Tottenham Hotspurs - Glen Hoddle.
Glenn wore Le Coq Sportif boots with 8 studs - a revolution of the early 1980's - and I saw him score a cracker of a goal from about 35 yards against Liverpool. What a legend!

I scored a beautiful goal this arvo from a set piece move - curled it over the lemon tree - top right hand corner of the trampoline... I "bent it like Hoddle." I really felt like I was being a great father today.. ..
