Very interesting to see that your brother gave it up and now he is the only one playing. <br />My dad was a great footballer so my brother didn't play because he didn't feel that he could live up to my dad's standards and didn't want to let him down. Maybe your brother was the same?Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636761469099608281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070420212032798639.post-70387546503205312922012-06-29T12:49:50.389-07:002012-06-29T12:49:50.389-07:00Nancy good on you that you won that game!
