Football legend Wayne Rooney was the star attraction at a recent charity football match that raised over £6,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
The All-Star Parents vs Staff Charity Match was held at The Manchester Grammar School and organised in part by Graeme Warner, a former winger for Manchester Maccabi and Spartak. Graeme, who won a football gold medal for Great Britain at the 1979 European Maccabi Games, said: “It was an amazing experience in front of a huge crowd for a great cause. I still can’t quite believe Wayne Rooney was playing alongside me!”
Rooney lined up in midfield alongside Warner and fellow international stars Steve McManaman and Phil Jagielka, thrilling spectators with their skill and sportsmanship. Also taking part were local players Marc Shirman, Nigel Tobias, and Anthony Jacobs.
