Football isn’t done with you yet.

Think walking football is just a slower version of the game you love? Think again.

In The Myths of Walking Football — Busted!, Lewes Lenny takes on the biggest misconceptions that stop people from lacing up their boots — and kicks them into touch. From “I’m too old” to “It’s not proper football,” every chapter unpacks the truth with real stories, a dash of humour, and the voices of players who’ve discovered the joy of the beautiful game at walking pace.

You’ll meet:
⚽ Flik, the ex-England goalkeeper making a stunning comeback.
⚽ Tony, the paramedic who sometimes turns up in his cricket whites.
⚽ Tasmin, the ref who knows every rule (and gets asked about them every five minutes).
⚽ Bob, who insists walking football has made him score more in running football.

And of course, Lenny himself — a lifelong fan turned walking football evangelist — who proves that age really is just a number.

Packed with:

• 11 myths thoroughly busted

• Exclusive retro-style cartoons

• Dad jokes only a walking footballer could love

• Tips, laughs, and a reminder that if you’re old enough, you’re good enough

Whether you’re curious about the game, looking for motivation to join your first session, or just want a fun, inspiring read, this book will show you why walking football is for everyone

It’s therapy, fitness, and community — all rolled into one.
