To Hull (Oldham) and back: I keep having fun...even at 40
The invitations have been going out for the 40th birthday party this week, a reminder, as if I needed it, that the clock is ticking on the playing career. [LNB]But I've discovered there is a way to keep playing for a few more years - become a goalkeeper. [LNB]Mark Crossley has been calling me 'Banksy' all week. Last week's stint between the sticks at Leicester was my third as emergency keeper and second clean sheet. [LNB][LNB] Life begins at 40: Windass says the key to playing longer is becoming a keeper[LNB]John Sheridan doesn't use a substitute keeper and I volunteered to take over in case Greg Fleming got injured or, as happened, sent off. [LNB]When Flem went, Leicester had a penalty and as I've been on the receiving end of waiting for a new keeper to come on as penalty taker, the first plan was to mess about and waste time to put Matty Fryatt off. I even did a Grobbelaar knee wobble. [LNB]It worked as he put it wide. I really want to enjoy my football at Oldham and playing in goal was great fun. [LNB]I pulled off three decent saves, I think, and the banter with the Leicester fans behind the goal was brilliant. [LNB]This week the lads found out we're wearing a new all-pink strip for the televised game with Leeds to raise money for the Victoria Breast Unit at the Royal Oldham Hospital. [LNB]We'll be auctioning the kits and Puma are supplying me with a pair of pink boots which I'll also put up on the club website.[LNB] To Hull and back: Yes, we really have been, says Mrs Windass[LNB]To Hull and Back: I like TV work but Gordon Ramsay's the real pro[LNB][LNB] [LNB] [LNB]
