Scott’s Story


In August 2022, Killie fan, Ben Montgomery, passed away following his fight with cancer, aged just 20 years old.

Using Ben as his inspiration, his father, Scott, took it upon himself to battle his own physical and mental health challenges. He has since turned his life “completely around”.

Starting The Killie Community’s wellbeing programmes, Scott benefitted from The SPFL Trust’s Football Fans in Training, the NHS’s Weigh To Go programme, and Killie’s Walk & Talk. As well as the mental health benefits of participating and volunteering, Scott discusses his own incredible weight-loss journey that took place at Rugby Park.
