Story

⚽️⚽️⚽️🏆 The Neil Thurston Memorial Trophy 🏆 ⚽️⚽️⚽️

Last year we lost a true gentleman of the world, he was a super Dad to his kids and brilliant Grandad to his grandchildren as well as being a great friend to many others.

Neil would often be found in the pubs of town playing (and often winning) darts or pool, a man who has bought many of us a pint or two over the years 🍺🍺

Neil was a very popular character in and around Newport Pagnell who was known for giving up so much of his time to help many of us with our football journeys especially with teams like Newport and Emberton.

A few of us got together this year to think about the best way we can honour the man who put hours of his own time to help us all grow as footballers and the most fitting way was to arrange a charity football match in memory of Chelsea mad Neil.

Venue: 📍
