Cal Crutchlow - Man Of The Match

Last week I wrote the story on a Charity Football Match taking place between the Air Ambulance Racers v Leicester City Legends.

At half-time, the bike racing boys were 10-1 down after being absolutely destroyed by the Leicester Legends and were only saved from total embarrassment with a goal from Nigel Bosworth.  Dan did however, feel that the racers were more respectable in the last 30 minutes and added that they only scored 2 goals in that time, the other 8 were just lucky!

Dan Cannell, who was the main man behind the charity fund raiser, gave his half-time talk to the boys, which went something like this,

To Cal Crutchlow after seeing him here, there and everywhere on the pitch,

“Where are you playing Cal”, “Everywhere” replied Cal, “OK, Cool…er…carry on then”

At one point during the second half of the match, the racers appeared to have 17 players on the pitch while the Legends only had 13, so that sort of made it fair I guess!

The Legends also lent a couple of players to the Racers side, Muzzy Izzett and David Busst with the Racers finally winning the game, which had been re-scored by 1-0 with Mark Dicken scoring a screamer into the top corner of the net.

Cal Crutchlow was named the ‘Man of the Match’ for the Racing side, after proving himself to be one of the few men who can actually multi-task, on the football pitch anyway.

It turned out to be a fantastic day for all involved and Dan Cannell would like to especially thank Tom Naughton without whom this wouldn’t have happened.  Well done to everyone involved, a fantastic day’s work and hopefully it will be an annual event.
