Over 75s

[Luvnhugs]

Wishing England over 75s football team all the very best in their 1966 commemorative match against Germany. Men with amazing fitness & agility & a great example & motivator for older people to keep going & to flourish.

Hopefully there will be others sharing this sentiment and wishing them the best of luck even if not here 🤔😄

I haven't heard anything about this.

Tell us more.

Is it a walking football competition ?

I saw them on This Morning. Great group of men.

I tried to share a link & it never worked.

No, it's not the walking game. They are called the Silver Lions. They do a full 11 a side 90 minute game in the usual way. If you Google silver Lions over 75 team England against Germany you can find a description & loads of links. I feel sorry there is nobody here recognising them unless there is another thread I'm missing 😁

Thursday 30th July Boundary Park Oldham.

I'm not sure if it's on TV although I do know there is going to be a documentary about them around this match commerating the 1966 world cup. England won by defeating West Germany in the final on 30th July 1966
