Rochdale AFC Walking Football team visited First Team training before last weekend’s season opener.
The team watched Jimmy McNulty’s side going through their preparations before taking on a select number of the team, including club legend Ian Henderson, in a walking football match!
Dale’s Walking Football team was established ten years ago, growing from a handful of players to a well-respected club boasting over 50 registered members.
They field seven teams per season in the Greater Manchester Walking Football League, incorporating various teams that cater for people based on age and ability. They train three times a week at the Crown Oil Arena and with a weekly match.
The eldest member is Club Treasurer Steve Colesby, who has recently been voted as Rochdale AFC Community Trust Volunteer of the Year for 2024. He is still pulling on his boots at the age of 78!
