A MAN who suffered from a stroke was left fearing he wouldn’t be able to walk his beloved dog Alfie. When William Gallagher was discharged from hospital, he struggled to even walk half a mile. But the inspirational Glasgow man was determined to get back on his feet. The 69-year-old, from Drumchapel, is now an avid member of his local walking group, two years on from his stroke in July 2019.
