Three teachers, four TAs, one football and a big comedy toe!

On Fridays a few of us from the school get together and have a kick about in the gym. The majority of us know that we're not that good, we go purely for the enjoyment and to blow off some team. Personally I've never been that good at football, I play to my strengths, I put myself between the player and the ball and let them try to take it off me, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Two of the lads that turn out are quite good, but they're the type that don't like it when you play rough, but hey it's all fun.
Anyway, today we played as normal and I was determined to play a blinder. The two "better" players were doing their tricks and playing their dummies, but miraculously, we were winning, but only just. After a couple of hard tackles the "Ronaldo brothers" were sulking and their new signing was getting a bit shirty, (the bruises on my shin are evidence of this). Late on in the game the score was 27:25 to the older players, when a ball was cleared into my direction, I shouldered Toner away and went to put my foot through the ball, which I did,.Unfortunately for me the momentum caused me to not only to clear the ball, it also crashed my foot into a protruding panel on the gym wall. Final result was 32:29 to the grey team, and one broken big toe for me!
