Dozens of well-known club legends lent their support to Football Aid to captain the fans’ teams. Liam Brady, Gary Mabbutt, Imre Varadi, Cyrille Regis, Steve Bull, Danny McGrain, Tommy Burns and Mark Hately are among the football heroes who have taken to the fields to lead the Football Aid players out of the tunnels.
In its first year, Football Aid raised nearly £250,000 and are looking to surpass this total in 2002. Grants were awarded to diabetes research projects, charities and voluntary organisations nominated by the clubs as well as supporting the nominated charities of the football authorities.
Football Aid has kicked off its 2001 / 2002 campaign with a new look website, team places to bid for, and a new improved version of their famous keepie-up screensaver.
