Rest in Peace Charlie Hurley
"Charlie Hurley was one of my all-time heroes" - Sir Bob Murray
I really enjoyed coming along to St Matthews this afternoon to see the pupils take part in this programme. I think it’s great that this project is encouraging so many young people to get involved in sport across the North East. Everyone looked like they were having fun which will only encourage them to continue taking part in physical activity, so well done to the Foundation of Light, Tesco Bank and the other partners.
Bryan Oviedo, Sunderland AFCGillian Fairweather, Tesco Bank Community Investment Manager, said: "Having a footballing professional here today really helps encourage the children to continue playing sport, have fun and maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. "It was wonderful to see the delight and excitement on their faces as one of their sporting idols joined in on their session and I am pleased we were able to provide them with this memorable experience."
