Title: ROD'S GENEROUS GESTURE (www.altrinchamfc.com) - and Excellent idea by the club
Post by: gazwarrington on July 06, 2011, 05:23:08 PM
Altrincham FC chairman, Grahame Rowley announces on behalf of the Mark Maddox Testimonial Committee that "As part of Maddog's (Mark Maddox's) Testimonial game on July 23rd (against Tranmere Rovers) we have very kindly been offered two fantastic prizes by Rod Thornley, who unfortunately can't be present on the day due to being in the USA with Manchester United.
He has offered a Wayne Rooney shirt signed by all the team and a John Terry England shirt signed by all the team. So that everyone has an opportunity to win a prize we are changing the format of the bidding.

If anyone is interested in winning one of the shirts you are asked to put your name on a £10 note and every note will be entered into a draw at the end of the night when the winner will have the choice of which shirt he would like. The other shirt will be used at a Sportsman's Dinner planned for September 23rd again with all proceeds going to Mark.

If you can't be present on July 23rd for the Tranmere game but would like to be entered in the raffle/auction for the signed shirt please either send in or bring in your £10 note to the club with your name on (marked for the attention of Karen Rowley), and it will be entered into the draw on the night. Where else would you get the opportunity to own a signed Wayne Rooney shirt or a John Terry shirt for just a tenner?!!!!

Many thanks to Rod Thornley for this very generous donation - very much appreciated."

When a player is taken to the hearts of us Alty fans, they just can't help but keep in touch. What a bloody fantastic club this is.

Good man Rod.

Nothing to do with that walking talking human cr8p John Terry is covetted in my house.

Offer me one Mark Maddox or one hundred John Terrys and it's Mark every single time.

There's only one Mad Dog.

Still a great gesture by Rod, though.
