Footage has emerged of a group of pensioners enjoying a game of football in a car park in Leicestershire, England.

The clip shows three men aged in their 70s or 80s enjoying a kick-a-bout on the morning of Sunday 16 July.

''I thought it was pretty unusual seeing these old boys knocking a ball about. It's rare to see kids playing football these days, let alone pensioners. They looked like they were having a good time. They're definitely young at heart," the filmer wrote online.

''I thought it was pretty unusual seeing this old boys knocking a ball about. It's rare to see kids playing football these days, let along pensioners.

''They looked like they were having a good time. They're definitely young at heart.

‘’They’re turning speed was quite slow, so I don’t think they’ll be getting many contract offers soon.

‘’I filmed them for a bit then went and had a natter with them and said it was great they’re playing football.

‘’They must have been in their late 70s or early 80s. But they’re definitely young at heart and looking forward to the start of the new season.

''Next week I might join them for kick about.’'
