Browns Walking Footballers gave one of their star academy players a fond farewell, as he prepares to start school in Quarteira, Algarve. Nine year old Kyrill and his mum Kate moved to Portugal from the Ukraine, having had an eventful journey from their war torn homeland, accompanied by a cat and dog! They were temporarily homed with one of Browns players and his wife, while their apartment became available. Kyrill played many times with the somewhat older and more experienced Browns members, excelling at nutmegging a couple of their star players!
Asked how he liked playing with players 50-60 years older than himself Kyrill offered the following comment… “they were all kind and encouraging, but quite old and slow. Some talked so strange I couldn’t understand them”.
None of the Scousers, Brummies or Geordies were available for comment.
