A Match for James (Walker)

[ace]

Take a bow everyone involved in getting this on. Fabulous entertainment and for such a good cause. Brilliant stuff with some cracking goals. All the very best for the future to James and his family.
PS He might be getting on now, but I'd take Granty back to the Hall in a heartbeat. Sheer class and energy.

Just come on as a sub - carrying a fair bit of extra timber!

First to the bar after the game too .... no surprise that one! Still ..... at least he turned up!

Well, I am bloody knackered! It was an absolute blinder of a day, everything was in good spirit and humour, it all went off smoothly and James loved the attention from the crowd every time he walked by.

Nicky Bailey had told me he could only play about 10 mins as he'd had an op recently but managed to play the whole game! Francis Laurent looked fantastic before tweaking his hamstring at the end of the 1st half. Anthony Grant still has that flair and that cheeky grin. Young Callum and Roycie did great in goal. Barney got a hat trick and old favourites like Maher, Barrett, Jupp and White rolled back the years.

Fabrice Muamba came along, wanting to keep a low profile, but ended up getting sucked into all the fun. It was lovely to see.

James' family enjoyed themselves, and, most importantly, we've raised a good sum to help with James' therapy.

For anyone wanting one, the programme (which is excellent, by the way) will be available in the Trust shop.

We still have Harry Kane's boot going on ebay and two more shirts donated today to be auctioned. We're not done yet.

Well done to everyone who helped organise this, I couldn't attend but have made a small donation. After the club's reputation in the community has been damaged so badly in recent years, it is so important that these things are done and that people are willing to show their support for a great cause when it matters. I hope everyone had a great day, the pictures are great.

Fabulous afternoon - well done to everyone involved in the organisation of this.

Any idea of the total number in attendance? Seemed a good number to me - hope it exceeded expectations.

Fabrice was asked to do the team talk for the Farke Knights. A word or two about Lee, their GK though - what a guy he is, he's raised a quarter of a million pounds for charity and is off to climb Kilimanjaro for charity in a few weeks too!

Well done SUEPA and all involved. A lot of hard work went into the organisation of the event and it was excellent. James' Mum was understandably very appreciative.
