However, things are really tough for one man at Offley at the moment.
Captain Dan has lost his players.
Some have moved away. Some have taken up another sport. Some are simply too old and infirm to even contemplate playing two games at a weekend.
Yet whatever the reasons, Captain Dan needs your help. He might not be Captain Morgan or Captain Marvel and he might currently have as many fit players as Captain Scott had with him when he froze to death at the South Pole but he is Offley's captain.
Whether you want to give Captain Dan one more chance, whether you want to prove to yourself you can manage two games in a weekend one more time, whether you want to do your good deed for the year, or whether you just want to see him run someone else out, please take a few hours from your Saturday and do what Captain Tom would be proud to do: stand by your Dan.
Sometimes it's hard to be a captain
Chasing all the players that he can
There'll be bad times, there'll be worse times
Cos he doesn't have a plan
So if you hate him, please forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
Don't laugh at him, support him
Cos after all he's simply Dan
Stand by your Dan
Give him some hope to cling to
Promise him you'll come through
When the field is sparse and lonely
Stand by your Dan
Show your love for Spectrum
Give him all the love you can
Stand by your Dan
