“I love football, both playing and watching. I had to stop playing many years ago after suffering a nasty Ankle break. Never recovered the flexibility in my Ankle and unable to play. Found that Walking Football allows me to play the game I love again. Great to be in the pitch again and with a Cracking bunch of blokes who obviously enjoy it as much as I do.” Richard, 57
“Walking football enables me to maintain a certain level of fitness and also has led to meeting and getting to know people in a similar situation. Therefore friendships were established and developing but more importantly enjoying the football each week.” Simon, 56
“Walking football has allowed me to play the game with likeminded people who love the game. It improves my fitness & stamina.” John, 59
“Even though I am only 37 I went along to try it out at one of the sessions and really enjoyed it. I was recovering from a couple of injuries and enjoyed the fact it was a little easier on the muscles. I say a little easier, I was just a sweaty from playing as I would be from a normal game! I enjoy the fact it is just as much fun as a full game of 5 a side, and you have to think about where you are positioned and where you are going to pass the ball as no one can run. So much so I have continued to attend the sessions"
Chris, 38
