Now you all know how much I like football ...

 

... but even I'm a little worried about the prospect of playing nearly 12 hours non-stop ... at my age!

 

Yes, I am preparing to put my body (and my knees) on the line to raise money to support young people in Africa affected by HIV and AIDs as part of the TackleAfrica Football Marathon 2011.

If you're wondering, 12 hours of football means that I will be running about 40km (about the same as running a marathon) ... I'm not sure I've thought this one through properly.
