I guess my sporting interests were set at school. In Winter we played Rugby Union, in Spring, Hockey and in Summer, Cricket.
This was, latterly at a grammar school, of course and in those far off days, soccer was completely ignored.
Hockey never stuck, perhaps as I was always picked as the goalkeeper!
I did make the school 1st XV, though and later played for a, mostly social, RFU club in Nottingham. I tell you packing down in the scrum after a pre-match lunch of cheese & raw onion rolls and draught Bass, was an "interesting" experience.
