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.’
