I've had an idea, old football.

Where you get the players from notable past games to replay the game now.

I think there would be massive entertainment value in watching the likes of vinnie Jones, Eric Cantona and gazza playing now.

I sometimes do dad football. And we're fat, out of shape and scared of hurting ourselves.

I'd like to see former professional footballers doing dad football.

It would take some organisation to get the England teams together from 1999, 1996 or 2010 but it would be well worth it. Could even be done for charity.

I think many clubs do this already? Certainly Spurs have a legends side who play matches for charity fairly regularly.

Yeah there used to be a legends tournament that used to come on Sky a few years ago.

I watched something on ITV a few hours ago about ex England players (Seaman, Barnes, Merson, Ruddock, Le Tissier????) touring Europe and playing against other ex professionals.

Was entertaining.
