After a hectic week in Strasbourg, I drove back Thursday to get back into my Birmingham office on Friday. Friday is a day of catching up with paper work and getting back into UK time.
My weekend is also busy! With Liverpool not being at home this weekend, I am sponsoring local team Worcester City this weekend.
Worcester City play at St. Georges Lane in Worcester and this is my third visit to the Lane this season. The first visit was on a sponsors evening, where I watched Worcester City take on over 50 children in a match – I’ve never seen so many children trying to claim a goal before! It is where I had my picture taken with the Worcester City first team.
My second visit to the Lane came back in September when I sponsored the Worcester City vs Solihull Moors match, where Worcester came out 3-0 winners.
Tomorrow I sponsor the match against Colwyn Bay FC. Worcester City are currently 8th in the Blue Square North, whilst Colwyn Bay are just 2 points behind them in 9th.
As a Liverpool fan I feel an affinity with Worcester City football club. Worcester City beat Liverpool in the 1958-1959 FA Cup, and shortly after this defeat Bill Shankley was appointed as manager. This lead to the reshaping of Liverpool football club, and we know the successes Liverpool have enjoyed since.
Football unites people from all sectors of society, and my football sponsorship scheme I hope has helped some of those clubs who do need the extra financial support. I've paid for all my sponsorships out of my own cash and I get a real buzz out of my local teams doing well. Last time I watched Worcester, Simon Brown who is my sponsored player, had a fantastic game - more of the same please.
Here’s to a great win for Worcester tomorrow – come on you Blues!!
