Can You Stop Making Me Feel So Old?

Well, it's official, I'm old. 25 and a half. The football (soccer) team I support (Arsenal) fielded a side with an average age below 19 last night. 19! There was a guy in the team who was 16. 16! And they won too.

At this point 9 years ago, what was I doing? Getting my braces removed maybe. Participating in a game of high school cricket perhaps. Wondering why girls didn't like me [it was the hair, and the personality and many other things including a complete lack of cool]. But in all probability I was playing football at the park and scoring many a goal against my friends.

And the high point of my footballing life came between the ages of 18 and 21 at uni. Scoring a goal in the cup final in front of about 100 people. This 16 year-old just played in front of 60,000 and was awesome. Born in the 90's. THE 90'S!!! I remember ALL of the 90's.

Bloody hell, imagine how old I'll feel in 10 or 20 years time! It's too much! Stop making me feel so old!
