Are you interested/engaged in football now as you were when you were younger? (alien.top)

When I was younger, especially between the ages of 15 to around 27, I feel like I was a lot more invested in my own team and wider football in general. I knew my own squad inside & out and could easily list players from the majority of players in the top leagues.

However, now at age 36, I find that I really struggle to keep up with football in general. I hear about players my club is going to sign and a lot of the time I have no idea who they are. I'll look at highlights of Serie A & La Liga and for the most part won't recognise most of the players.

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like as they're getting older, they're less engaged with the game?

When I was 14 I could probably tell you every player from every team, every shirt sponsor. These days, even as a premier league ST holder, I probably couldn't name a single player from, say, Burnley. I have no idea who sponsors Nottingham Forest. Couldn't tell you what colour Man City's away kit is.

I blame it on the fact that as a 40-something I don't have time for Panini stickerbooks.
