Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.


You Know I'm not even going to add too much more than that......Suffice to say I originally recorded this six years ago with the band HJ21 after a personal friend died in the kings cross bomb and as a tribute to her(she was training to be a kids nurse) i got a volunteer's job DJing on a Saturday afternoon at the Royal Marsden hospital.


It was here I saw a kid in an England football shirt who later died of Leukaemia and it made me think (havng just become a dad myself) 'How many kids like him would never get to kick a ball in a playground let alone at Wembley for England?'.


I then remembered my own heartache of being at the England v Germany Euro semi in 96 and coupled with Italia 90 I used all that emotion to write this song.


What followed for me personally was nothing but grief in which I had to pay for nearly everything myself got virtually no help from the Marsden itself apart from Jason( Radio Marsden chairman) or any of the national press.

In fact I was treated virtually like some 'Big brother Wannabe' or discarded lepper by most radio stations, Tv and media. Well all apart from a few local rags, BBC Surrey, the St Georges day.com people, the Pub and bar network and the England supporters band!

I never knew Charity was so political still it aint about me never wasl!!

So here's the song....Thanks To Mike Pete and Andy for playing on it so passionately!

If you would like a copy please leave your name an email address with your donation (£1.00 minimum) and we will gladly send you an Mp3.
