I suppose it was an easy two hours twice a week, because they'd just put all the lads in half a year onto three pitches. It was always an occasion, because they often let captains pick (which the FA actually says you can't do now!), and you got pretty even teams.
When I was in 4th & 5th year (none of this year 10 and 11 nonsense back then!), we had a choice with what we did in PE each week. I was rubbish at sport and didn't like it, and chose swimming as an option. We didn't have a pool at our school, so one of the teachers would take those of us who had chosen it to the local council pool in the school minibus - a Freight Rover Sherpa (I think it's reg was B226UUM - how the hell can I remember that
) with a couple of inward facing bench seats, no seatbelts, but none of us died... We'd get dropped off at the baths then picked up an hour later - somehow I can't imagine that being allowed nowadays!
