Thank you to the amazing England Parkinson’s WFC team for this piece about our very own Karen Bagley 🏴
Current Team: Sutton United Foundation Team
Karen’s football journey began with fun kickabouts alongside her sons and husband — never imagining it would lead her here.
After being diagnosed with Parkinson’s, Karen thought her playing days were over.
But now, she’s proudly representing England, proving that passion and determination can overcome anything.
“To be chosen to play for my country has truly made my year. I couldn’t be more excited or proud for this amazing chance!” 💪❤️

Our women’s over 35s football sessions are also run by Karen – more info is coming soon for our 2026 sessions!
