.....that might be the question for our street`s local hero Scott ("the only way is up") Wagstaff, settling in to life in the National League with the Shots of Aldershot Town. Unfortunately his new found chums aren`t doing too well, currently lying next to bottom of the National League. That league is a difficult one - including some big clubs with long histories such as Wrexham, Hartlepool, Southend and the oldest football club in the world in Notts County.
Maybe, just maybe, Scott with all his experience of playing for Bristol City, Charlton, Wimbledon, Gillingham and Forest Green Rovers (to name but a few) can inspire his fellow Shots team mates to get their act together and climb away from the relegation zone. Time will tell.
But what intrigues me is, given the countless times he has appeared on television and YouTube videos through his football prowess, whether he could now successfully apply for membership of Equity - the union for those who appear on the stages of the world. This might give him an outlet for when his playing days come to an end and surely the ups and downs of his long and distinguished career have provided him with enough insight into the world of drama, tragedy, triumph, disaster, comedy - even farce - to guarantee his acceptance.
After all, having scaled the heights, been there, done that and also suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, he might find it nobler to take arms against the sea of troubles that currently afflict the struggling Shots and by opposing, end them. I do wish him well. To be fair.
