Walking Football Reignites Brian’s Love for the Game

It’s great to get that feeling of the football at my feet again!
— Brian, Walking Footballer

83 year old Brian hadn’t played football for over 40 years until he attended AFC Wimbledon Foundation’s Walking Football session at Pollards Hill a little over a month ago, but now his love for the game is back.

Brian played football from when he was a young boy up until the age of 42, but stopped when it became too demanding for him. He decided to give Walking Football ago, joining our Tuesday sessions at Pollards Hill Youth Centre and hasn’t looked back.

Walking Football is a great way to get the body active and moving, while enjoying the beautiful game at a more relaxed pace. You can find out more about the sessions by clicking here.

It’s great to see Brian ignite his love for football again, he definitely hasn’t lost his touch!
— Chloe Turner, AFC Wimbledon Foundation Health Coordinator
