Walking footballers step out at Anfield

Forty-four local residents - all regular participants in the walking football programme - played a series of matches during a special afternoon at the home of Liverpool FC.

Walking football is designed to encourage over 50s to engage in physical activity in a fun and social setting. The initiative has gone from strength to strength, with the initial monthly meetings now running twice-weekly at Anfield Sports and Community Centre (ASCC).

Former LFC left-back Kennedy, a familiar face at the ASCC sessions, headed back out on to the Anfield pitch with his walking football teammates for the end-of-season tournament.
