Athletico Prescott.

I was chatting with a few mates the other day about the moment in life when you realise that you only have a few years left of being able to play football and generally participate in athletic activity with any dignity and that maybe we should try to get fit in order to be able to do so. The alternative is wasting our prescious remaining years of athletic potential on the couch.

But that rather depressing thought has left me today - not because I've finally got fit and played a full 90 minutes of super-star football. But we now have an example from the very top of public life - if you're good enough, you're young enough. So no worries. I'll go to the gym another time.
