Walking Football Scotland Men’s Player of the Month is Stuart Campbell! Stuart, 68, plays with Oriam.
Congratulations Anne and Stuart! They shared their reflections on what Walking Football means to them.
Why did you get involved in walking football?
Anne: “I played football as a youngster with the boys but growing up in the 60s and early 70s I was not allowed to play competitively. Apart from the odd game of 5 a sides in my 20s and 30s, I never got the opportunity to develop in the sport I love. Then along came walking football in my 50s and changed my life!”
Stuart: “I got involved in Walking Football as an opportunity to get out of my house and socialise with others, as well as a chance to improve my physical and mental health.”
