Whilst in the Army, we had 2 PT periods a week, plus battle fitness training, we played football on Wednesday afternoons, and most evenings we were playing squash, or basketball etc, At weekends, I'd play for a local team, on a Sunday morning, on top of this, we worked hard.
So forgive me if I don't cry along with the nation, over these poor overworked 'professional' footballers, and their massive work load!
