I would have been amazing at football
Had we been allowed actual footballs in school. We werent allowed them because - to quote our headmaster at the time "they could poke someones eyes out"

Instead we found other objects to play football with. Usually crushed cans, empty Panda pop bottles, short sticks, stones, basically anything that could be kicked.

I remember having my trousers sliced open on the edge of a crushed 7-up can as someones shot took flight to shin hieght.

Footballs though? with their bouncy soft outer skin.. no way.. that could hurt someone.
