“…the pleasure has been mine in working closely with you. Along this journey we have learnt a lot and hopefully we shall produce stars that would one day play Sheffield and other clubs in the UK. “

“The Boots For Africa campaign is a fantastic initiative and one we applaud at FIFA as it continues our aims of ensuring football is made available to all and helping to build a better future.”

“I fully support the Boots For Africa Appeal and I wish them great success in what is a very worthy cause. Providing boots to the children of Africa will not only inspire the next generation of football heroes, but ensure that everyone is given the opportunity to take part in sport. The 2010 World Cup will be staged in South Africa for the first ever time and football will be used by the country to help build a better life for local communities.”

“The Boots For Africa appeal is a fantastic initiative and McDonald's is delighted to be teaming up with Sheffield FC to add real value to what is a great cause.”

“I'm very happy to be getting involved in what I think is a really worthwhile charity. I have experienced the inspiration and sense of achievement that football can bring and this campaign is helping to give the same opportunity to children in Africa.”
