Stupid ankles.

[Ripper]

I used to play football ALL the time from the ages of 5-16. Since then i stopped playing and did other things (squash/gym/badminton etc). I'm 20 now and I joined a team in the summer, but after a few training sessions I twisted my left ankle. I rested it for a few weeks, went back to training and did it again, it was as if the slightest slip would cause it to twist or whatever. I kinda gave up then but recently we've been having kick abouts over the local astro turf and I can feel my ankle waiting to go again (both ankles). Are my ankles simply weak and not used to being worked so hard or what?

Can anyone reccommend somewhere to purchase ankle supports, and reccomend any decent atsro turf trainers? And if anyone has any advce of any exercies I can do to strengthen them i'd be grateful.

cant find the URL because the argos site isn't working at my end, but they sell york ankle supports for 5.99. As i need two and these aren't too expensive, would they be good enough?

Looked at the vulkan ones but the general price was around £15 for one
