Popular local walking football player fights back against the virus

Popular walking footballer and captain for the England Over 70s team Howard 'Dasher' Conrad is on the road to recovery after contracting Covid-19.

The 75-year-old was very seriously ill as he battled against the virus and spent time in hospital with a heart and lung problem.

However, 'Dasher' wouldn't give up the fight and fought back and amazed everyone by walking out of hospital a fortnight ago.

He will now take time to recuperate and then get back to fitness and to his beloved walking football.
