We often remind ourselves that while education is for life and sport is integral to education, then that means that sport is meant to be for life. There are some people who embody that philosophy entirely. A few years ago, various news outlets reported on a ninety-five year old (labelled “the oldest winger in town”) turning out for his rugby club in Scotland in a charity match, while in Japan there are leagues for what might be loosely termed as ‘overage’ players. In many sports there are Masters and Veteran leagues as well as internationals. People continue to play sport forever!
