Back in the beforetimes I tried to get some Walking Football going. I absolutely love it.
My version is less about tacking-social-isolation-in-older-men (though, obviously, I am one) and more about playing a gentle version of football with friends of all ages and genders. We used to play on a little 5-a-side pitch in Fitzrovia. Hence the name. Mark did some brilliant designs for me and we built a website though it seems to have disappeared.
Anyway. The spring is coming, it feels like time to try again. And it occurs to me that we could do it even less formally - up the park, as we used to say.
I'm thinking of a basic, informal kick-around. Walking Football rules. (ie no running, no sliding tackles, be careful with other people's knees), Regent's Park, probably, on a Saturday or Sunday morning. I think we need a core of, say, 8 people to get going, so please email me (or DM me, or whatever) and let me know if you're up for it. russell at russelldavies.com
