What is your footballing history? (Sunday league, Junior….)
Sunday amateur league

What was your introduction to walking football?
Steve Fleming asked me if I fancied joining around 2 years ago but unfortunately lockdown put a stop to that. Then in April last year (2021) when it started up again he asked me again. I came along and have been coming along ever since.

What were your first impressions of walking football?
Great bunch of guys, with some tremendous banter.

What do you get (if anything) from walking football?
Gets me out on a Sunday night for exercise and getting to know all the guys that take part.

Funniest thing you’ve seen (or experienced) in walking football?
Me, getting far enough up the pitch to get an attempt on goal. Attempt being the operative word as actually scoring proves to be a bit more difficult.

Outside of walking football, do you have interests in any other sport?
Yes, I enjoy watching both cricket and rugby league. But with not having Sky Sports I don’t see a lot of either of them.

Who are your football/sporting heroes?
Jimmy Nicholl for some of the greatest days I’ve had in my many years of watching football.
Away from the Rovers?
George Best and Clive Lloyd. Have seen both of them play and they’re the best I’ve ever seen.
