“Just want to say a massive thank you. My family and I had a fantastic day at the Stadium of Light on Sunday (19th May). To play at the Stadium, to captain the team, to score on the pitch! And to beat Newcastle (United) 11-0 was all just amazing! Dreams really do come true and it’s thanks to Football Aid. Will be looking to participate again next year. Thanks again”.
