It was with great pleasure that Rucker read of septuagenarian John Goldman.
Mr. Goldman continues to turn out for his home side, Mill Hill, even though he's in his seventies.
The way he sees it is that he'll keep going until he starts to look a bit ridiculous.
His philosophy is that if he stops, he'll turn to mush:
"It seems to be a kind of philosophy or a train of thought [that] when you get to a certain age, you are looking to retire and looking to wind down. Why?
"I think the brain, the bones and everything else are much stronger.
"When I start to look pretty ridiculous - probably I do already - but when I can't get a game, that's the time to stop."
Rucker salutes you, Mr. Goldman, keep it up!
Rucker only wishes his career hadn't been cut short by devastating injury!
