I was right behind the boards on the touchline, and Hockley was about 4 yards on the pitch. So I was maybe 10 yards away, and he properly hoofed it. assuming a clearance velocity of 30mph (likely on the low side), that means I had 0.7 seconds (ish) to see, calculate incoming trajectory, and react. The average human reaction is about 215 milliseconds, but I'd had a couple of drinks so call it 0.3 seconds. That means I had 0.4 seconds to both understand I was about to be hit, and complete the ducking motion. Not likely.
you numbnuts.

I imagine I see a very different person from the one you knew, but she really doesn't strike me as the teacher sort.sam_ wrote:His wife taught me and gave me one of his shirts, and his Wembley 08' jacket, a real hero for me. I shall never forget his goal at home to Halifax. A true Torquay United Football Club legend.
