    GOAL Worksop Town 4-1 Bottom of the Leaguepublished at 12:03 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2017

    BBC Get Inspired reporter at the venues

    What a menace the  Worksop Number 9 is. Quickly presses the  Bottom of the League  player to win the ball. Through and goal and a clinical finish into the bottom corner. 

    Repeats the same pressing game minutes later and scores another goal after robbing the opposition. Certainly a player to watch.

    There are some big Stormzy fans down in Shoreditch...

    Not sure there will be as many grime fans in the Walking Football category this afternoon.

    I may be wrong though? If I am, do let me know.
