Absolutely freezing, wet, windy and completely miserable Wednesday yet these coaches/dads/mums are relentless in their commitment to giving the young kids the opportunity to have play football,have fun, improve and stay active no matter what the circumstances, amazing ❤️⚽️😍👏🏼 x
Abso gutted the lower leagues of Scottish football had been suspended today but I can see why it has, it’s all about the greater good n helping the NHS help us 👍🏼, slow the spread.
