    In my spare time I used to play golf tying to get better every time.
    Footballers who can only kick the ball reliably with either their right foot or their left foot should practise to be able to reliably be able to kick a ball with their left foot and right foot.

    I disagree and believe they should do that during work time, leisure time should be just that even for footballers.

    Golf was a leisure pursuit for you and you enjoyed playing it but rather than a footballer playing and enjoying a round of stick ball after a hard day's training, physio or whatever you'd deny them the right to enjoy the same leisure activity you loved so much? Why?

    I worked from 9 to 5 every day from Monday to Friday not from 10am to 12 noon.
    It used to be said that full time footballers had too much spare time on their hands which resulted in them being in pubs or the bookies.

    Do you honestly believe they turn up at 10 then go home at 12?
