Paint the lines on a field - I held this job for my town's club throughout high school. Every Saturday I would lug cases of paint and the little push-liner to five fields spread across town and repaint the lines, often working around practices and games as I did. The money was good, but re-measuring the field on the first weekend of each season was a seemingly endless process involving stakes, twine, measuring tape, and the Pythagorean theorem. Ever since, the quality of the lines are the first thing I notice every time I step onto the field. These are the true unsung heroes of the game... 8.

I thought I needed to take my turn in the barrel. About 15 minutes into the game, I came off my line to challenge a shooter and promptly tore my achilles tendon.

It's been a while since I played keeper but I was prepared for sacrifice last game. FC77 Rangers managers aren't allowed to wear the Number 7. We don't need that kind of jinx. ;o) Gary Another excellent post and with a great Rushie quote to boot! It’s been a while since I played keeper but I was prepared for sacrifice last game.
