77-year-old Millwall fan sets up Walking Football team for people with cancer

16 May 2023 1 min read No comments Impairment / Disability

A Millwall fan, who is living with incurable blood cancer, has started a walking football team for other cancer sufferers to keep playing the game they love.

In 2016, Tony Linforth-Hall, based in Elephant and Castle, was diagnosed with blood cancer – and although it is terminal, he wants to share with others what he believes has helped to ‘keep him alive.’

Before his diagnosis, he was playing walking football at Millwall – similar to the traditional sort except players aren’t allowed to run. It is typically meant for older people with reduced mobility, but Tony believes it could benefit people with cancer too.
