Soccer Advanced

I played semi-pro for 7 years in the UK. i had a few years break from soccer after an ACL injury, i returned to semi-pro but then decided to drop down a league where half of the players are semi-pro and half amateur but still a very high level. I was playing at this level until I emigrated to Australia at the beginning of November 2009. And just to blow my own trumpet, despite being 41 I was always the quickest in the team, but then again, I do train for speed and regularly do sprints and plyometrics. I’m usually on the wings or up-front. I’m looking for a quality team that contains players with a similar skill level i.e. ex-pros and ex semi-pros, preferably within half hour or so of travel. Running around with the youngsters is becoming less appealing. Since moving to Australia a few weeks ago, I feel O35 is probably more my cup of tea these days.
