Capturing the Spirit of Generosity - A Momentous Pre-Kickoff at Coca-Cola Semi-Final
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to a historic moment on the 13th of March, 1997. Before the highly anticipated Coca-Cola semi-final match between Boro and Stockport, football star Derek Whyte finds himself in an unexpected spotlight. Standing tall on the pitch, Derek is presented with a symbolic cheque by Rufus Hall, regional director of Scottish and Newcastle retail. The significance lies not only in the impressive sum of £25,000 but also in its purpose - Comic Relief. This heartwarming gesture showcases how sport can unite for a greater cause beyond competition. The funds were raised within just two weeks as part of a month-long fundraising campaign held across pubs nationwide under Scottish and Newcastle's banner. Accompanying Rufus Hall is his daughter Monique, aged seven at that time. Her presence adds an endearing touch to this memorable occasion as she actively participates in presenting the cheque alongside her father. This snapshot encapsulates both charity and camaraderie within the realm of football during that era. It serves as a reminder that even amidst fierce rivalries and intense matches, athletes like Derek Whyte understand their role extends far beyond scoring goals – they have immense power to make positive change through their influence. Photographed by Terry Reed from Memory Lane Prints, this image immortalizes an extraordinary moment when sportsmanship transcended boundaries for a noble cause –
