We know Ian's story is not unusual with many of our own players identifying the friendships that have been formed with fellow players as a major benefit of walking football sessions.

If it's football you want at a mature age, we have it.
If it's a reminder of all the dressing room banter you had at a less mature age, we have it too, in spades!!
if you want something to look forward to on a regular basis, we have that too

There are many clubs throughout Scotland and beyond playing Walking Football on a regular basis and I'm sure many reading Ian's story will recognise the values the sport brings.
