Don't get too excited but apparently last October Bolton Wanderers won the European trophy for ..... over 60s walking football
There was an article in the Bolton News about it, but I only just heard about it via an old mate.
Two of the lads who played in the same team as me back in the day were in the Wanderers side who played Olympique Marseille, Feyenoord, FC Den Haag amongst others in the group stages, overcame Genk in the QF, Nottingham Florist in the semis and a team from ...erm..Birmingham in the final.
Neither of the lads were particularly quick when we were young so I imagine walking football would suit them One of them had a wicked left foot though and the lads done well.
