This is our Teresa who is one of YORK VIKINGS’ more recent recruits. Teresa is something of a trail blazer in our ranks. Teresa played football and competed well with the Boys back in her school days in Brid, but moved to the USA in the early 90s, where her soccer playing days really took off, competing successfully in both coed and women’s football programmes. Now back in York, she plays at VIKINGS in our midweek sessions and is again back to competing with the ‘Boys’. No doubt about that!

This is our John who is one of YORK VIKINGS longest serving member and is a truly unique and inspirational figure within the Club. John didn’t start playing football until he was 67 (bar the odd kick about in his early school days) but now, in his mid-70s, generally plays twice a week at VIKINGS and also referees regularly at Club social sessions.

This is our Gary who is one of YORK VIKINGS’ regulars. In fact, he’s nearly ever present. Now in his 50s, he’s a very good, tenacious Walking Footballer but one who’s always welcoming of new players and always supportive of his fellow players at every VIKINGS’ session he’s involved in. Gary clearly loves his football and so if you loved your football in the past too, but thought you’d never play again, why not come and join our friendly Legends and experience Walking Football for yourself?

This is our Terry who is one of YORK VIKINGS’ longest serving members and, as you can see, is one of our Goalkeepers. Like most of our players, Terry hadn’t played any football for many years before arriving at VIKINGS, but took to walking football immediately and proved a versatile, social outfield player. A few years ago now, Terry took to the Gloves and has never looked back! Now in his early 70s, Terry is an agile Keeper and always one of the first to make new players feel welcome.
