Footie in the Park

Hyde Park

07/04/11

Playing football in the park in the summer is a popular pastime in London .
Hyde Park, Battersea, wherever there is a bit of greenery, incredibly uncoordinated, fat, pasty office workers dust off their David Beckham shirts for that first sunny day in spring.
Clumsy tackles lead to pulled hamstrings and late challenges are laughed off in light of the sunny weather. The whole scene sort of resembles a collection of handicapped monkeys on speed.

Anyway, I'm off for a kick-about...
