Congratulations Susan and Owen! They shared their reflections on what Walking Football means to them.
Why did you get involved in walking football?
Susan: “I was introduced to walking football after taking part in SPFL Trust, Rangers Football Fans In Training. This encouraged me to become more active and resulted in me becoming involved in wider aspects of health, fitness and well-being.”
Owen: “I have played football all my life and it’s always been a major passion. Following a heart attack at the age of 58, I cut down on playing 5-a-sides and played more golf and went cycling. After a few years, friends that I used to play football with suggested I tried walking football, and although very sceptical, I decided to take the plunge and have never regretted it!”
