GT Couriers is extremely happy to offer our support to Finley Cooper, who plays for Nottingham Forest Powerchair Football Club (NFPFC). We came to hear about Finley’s interest and involvement in the sport through having previously worked with Finley’s dad, Jonathan, and grandad, Graham.
If you’ve never heard of powerchair football before, it’s the only active competitive team sport for electric wheelchair users with high-level impairments. They play four-a-side on a basketball-sized court using specialised powerchairs with a front guard (bumper) to dribble, pass and shoot a large ball, providing players with unique access to the fast-paced game of football. It’s an inclusive sport that welcomes people of all ages, disabilities and genders to compete. Powerchair Football changes lives – just ask Finley!
Finley (number 24 in the group photo above) has been part of NFPFC for five years. He began in the development team, The Outlaws, and progressed to the Nottingham Forest Championship team at the age of 12 (the minimum age). Finley is a passionate Derby County fan and lives for football, so being able to play the sport he loves means the world to him.
Finley is in his third season playing in the WFA Championship with Nottingham Forest PFC – one of three Powerchair Football teams in the area. Finley says, “being a massive Derby County fan, wearing the red shirt felt a bit strange at first”, but now he couldn’t be prouder to represent his club ❤️🤍
Nottingham Forest PFC is currently competing in the WFA National League Championship, AKA the 2025/26 Slater and Gordon Championship, the second tier of the English Powerchair Football League pyramid. They’re also competing locally in the West Midlands Powerchair Football League (WMPRL) Championship, the largest regional competition in the country.
Our support will go towards player development and the maintenance of essential equipment – helping Finley continue playing the sport he’s so passionate about.
If you’re interested to learn more about the sport or seeing Finley in action, the WFA streams the matches for free on YouTube, so be sure to check it out there!
GT Couriers would like to wish Finley and the rest of the team every success for 2026, and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
