The old man Fan Xinming took out the old photo of the team participating in the 4th Sichuan Provincial Games in 1979. The “old guys” on the photo were now far apart. Fan Xinming said that this was the first championship in his life, and that from then on, he was closely linked with football.

The elderly showed a precious photo of themselves with Chi Shangbin (in the middle) in 2008. Chi Shangbin was one of the best players and coaches in China. “He died in March this year. What a pity! Dalian Wanda, the team he coached, set a league record of 55 rounds unbeaten,” they recalled.

Hui Guangwen, 79 years old, was the coach of the team. He started playing football at the age of 9 and joined the team at the age of 49 in 1991. It had been 30 years since then. He has been silently serving as the recorder of the team’s history and collected photos and information about the team’s competitions. This group of old urchins, bonded by football, get healthy and happy by sticking to exercises.. He told the reporter that he hoped to pass on the precious football spirit of the players.
