Scheme participant Alfie Brett talks to England World Cup winner George Cohen as Fulham footballer Brede Hangeland looks on
HEALTH-conscious men got to try out fitness equipment – as well as meeting a World Cup winner and a top Premier League footballer – at the launch of a new initiative launched by a football club’s charity.
Fulham Football Club Foundation (FFC Foundation) launched the Lambeth project, Premier League Health, aimed at encouraging men to adopt healthier lifestyles.
The launch was held at the Lilian Baylis Old School in Lollard Street, Kennington, on Tuesday.
It gave participants the chance to try out gym equipment and meet one the club’s star players, Norwegian international centre-back Brede Hangeland.
Ex-Fulham player and 1966 World Cup winner George Cohen was also on hand to offer fitness advice.
The project will be funded using an £89,000 grant from the New Football Pools.
It aims to create a relationship between the club and the community by offering workshops, gym sessions and one-to-one fitness sessions.
FFC Foundation chief executive Steve Day said: “The campaign will follow on from other successful projects in Lambeth and will look to further develop our reach within the area.”

I totally agree with opting for a healthier lifestyle, i changed the way i ate a few months ago and started going to the gym, being a London plumber also helps with my job.
