Brilliant video on the OS, makes me really proud of the fella.

Makes a bit of a mockery of the Sports Personality Of The Year awards when somebody can do all this (at a cost of nearly £1M) for no personal gain other than the satisfaction of helping people, yet not even be nominated.

I thought the sports personality was purely based on sporting achievement?

You may be right, but, if so, I don't understand why they use the word Personality in the title?

He really seems to have put genuine effort & commitment into this rather than just chucking a few quid at it & taking the kudos, like many sports people do with charity work. Of course he's put a LOT of money in too though.

If stuff like this doesn't count towards getting recognition such as 'Sports Personality' then perhaps it's time it did, or at least a special award or something.

Well from a personal (not his club) point of view he's achieved more and got more personality than fuckin Bryan Griggs!

watch the video last night... made me really proud that a person like craig plays football for my club.

working in a country for foundation like craigs and teaching kids to play football really interested me i would like to do that for a few years. I'm doing my Coaching Level 3 this or next year and if anyone has any info about the foundation if they need coach or something please let me know. couldnt find anything on the website

Gonna give it a watch now. I checked an old thread an it appears I was wrong about how the set up works. Shame that someone has put that incorrect info out in the first place, shame on me for believing it.

Bellamy for PM!
