Five months on, Sol has seen his fitness and confidence grow so much that he now takes part in the sessions as a fully-fledged player, twice a week.
Progressing from simply collecting the ball when it went out of play, Sol, from Old Swan, eventually laced up his boots to participate in the faster-paced matches on a Tuesday, alongside the Friday sessions he had joined straight away.
Since then, Sol hasn’t looked back and has further developed his skills on the pitch.
“Walking football has been absolutely brilliant for me. When I first started playing I wasn’t that confident, but as I’ve continued to come, I feel both my fitness and ability on the ball have improved massively” he said.
