Proud to have been awarded the newly sponsored England Walking Football (Over 75) International goalkeeping shirt the other week after turning out for SW England in a regional competition.
Have two England caps so far having played Wales home and away with the 0-1 defeat in Wales reversed by our 4-0 home win in Bristol last July.
The first outing for the shirt will be in April in Guernsey with our star midfielder Geoff Martell playing for England against his Channel Island mates.
***************************
Supported Charlton since 1962 attending countless home and games away over 50 years despite moving to the West Country in 1971 with my 'home' games being at Exeter City, so recent 2-1 win very welcome given that my local walking football club Exeter Strollers originated from within the fan-based Community Club, which naturally abounds with their fans!
Now to Plymouth on Saturday and following the FGR and Exeter wins another West Country victory would go down very well!

ps…. @Redmidland asked “ Do you have a Vets team” 😉
I didn't know that there was an international team for walking football.
I know that it has taken off in Brittany but not elsewhere really. Do you know if France has an international team yet?

Now I'm 50 I might start looking into it myself.
The England Over 75s have only been in existence for about 18 months but we have several players around the 80 mark and its only a matter of time (literally I guess) before there is an Over 80s England Walking Football Team. Rex Buttle of Dorchester was featured in a National newspaper having made his England debut at age 80.
