i was a footballer but was forced into early retirement at 22 due to arthritis in my hip and was told if i carried on i`d end up in wheelchair, at 25 i had hip op where they broke my thigh bone and turned so the backside is now at the front they did this as it would last longer than a hip replacement so i started my own roofing firm but after so much time my back started going and now have lower spinal problems nothing too serious but decide enough is enough, i`m going enjoy the rest of my life and at an early age i`m not a millionaire but am comfortable with finances, i must admit i do miss work but once a few health probs clears up i might do a bit part time work
