I’m David York, and football has been my passion for as long as I can remember. From grassroots games to pulling on an England shirt for the Over-70s squad, the sport has shaped my life.
But staying match-fit in your seventies isn’t easy. The knocks take longer to heal, the recovery demands more effort and you can’t just train the way you did in your twenties. I’ve had to adapt — finding new ways to stay sharp, keep my body strong and still enjoy the buzz of competition.
That’s what YorkieFit is about. It’s not theory or guesswork — it’s my real journey:
- Managing injuries and recovery week by week
- Testing what training methods still deliver results
- Finding kit, nutrition and routines that genuinely make a difference
If you’re in your fifties, sixties, seventies — or just want to keep active as you age — I hope sharing my story helps you stay motivated and proves that age doesn’t have to be a barrier.
Football is still giving me joy, challenges, and friendships — and I want to pass some of that on to you.
— Yorkie
