Veteran Football 2008/09 season

Veteran football is for players over the age of 35 years old and is a series of friendly games played under the auspices of the Veteran Football Alliance (VFA). The VFA was set up several years ago to administer the growth of Veteran football locally, which has become the fastest growing form of football in the country.

Contrary to many players' expectations Vets football is played to a high standard as while the legs may go, the players football ability does not, thus matches are played at a slower pace but the technical ability remains high.

The Egbertian FC Veteran team for the 2008/08 season will be managed by player/manager Ewan Thomson, a former first team captain assisted by Peter Burke and Andy Middleton. This season's programme consists of 27 games (see fixture list) plus three cup games.
