We've all been there as amateur footballers – 48 hours on from your last game your muscles are in agony and you're walking like the tinman.
Unlike the pros, I don't always have the time to complete a professional warm-down after playing on a weekend, or have the luxury of a personal massage therapist. The most I normally manage is to jog for the bus home.
Naturally, if it's been a particularly strenuous game, you end up paying for your physical efforts over the days that follow.
