I can now tell you about my latest keep-fit project.
Something we at Blackpool FC Community Trust have put in place along with Age UK.
"Walking football for the Over 50's".
It's way of keeping older men active into later life (sadly I fall into this category and therefore was press-ganged into
playing).
I can report that "The Silver Fox" still has it - a 40 minute game complete with a clean sheet in goals, 3 saved penalties and
slotted the winner from the spot myself. I was even yellow-carded for being "too energetic" !!!!
How many people can boast of that whilst playing with the legend that is Jimmy Armfield as my covering full-back ?
The idea is to eventually select a representative team for the Club Trust to play in a North West League against the likes of
Rochdale, Bury, Wigan and Preston who run similar schemes.
Watch this space................. now where is that packet of radox ?
