David Haye, Ricky Hatton etc Charity Football 25th July 2010

[LucaDiCaro]

Shame you missed the final, Between Paul Smith's Pick Pockets and Ultrachem TKO Gym team, both of whom were unbeaten 'til the final - it was a cracker.

Paul Smith scored the winning goal and gets to take the trophy up to the 'pool. Rumour is next years Charity Football Tournament in aid of the Indee Rose Trust is going to be in Scouseland!!!

Goal of the tournament goes to Ben 'The Entertainer' Day who scored a real peach in the very last minutes of the very last of the league games.

Golden Boot goes to Wayne Elcock who not only scored all the Ultrachem TKO goals - but scored nearly twice as many as his nearest opposition!

Star of the day - RICKY HATTON - he played every game for the Ultrachem TKO team and when not playing was non-stop signing autographs or being photographed with someone or another. Even took the time to go in the studio where the public paid a tenner, to the charity, to be photographed with him. He then autographed every pic. He also supplied so much top class memorabilia for the charity auction. The man's a true star.

A close second comes Ross Minter, Kevin Mitchel, Wayne Elcock, Graham Earl, Tony Oakey, Paul Smith, Billy Joe Saunders, Johnny Borrell who also spent so much time signing autographs and being photographed with members of the public

It was an awesome day and has raised a lot of dosh for the Indee Rose Trust

Can't wait for the next one (-;

It was a brilliant day. Johnny and Derek deserve great applause, as do all the boxers who travelled from far and wide.

Elcock was a real handful, didn't get chance to play against Smithy's pick-pockets but the Irish lads were quick enough and the TKO team, featuring Elcock, Hatton, Hillyard and Mitchell were plenty good enough.

And its true Ricky signed everything for everyone ALL day without an ounce of issue as did all the other guys when asked.

Was a great day out. All the Team Alio/Irish lads had a ball.

Big thanks to Jonny and his team for making it possible for us all the travel over and play, we will definately be back next year. We're only home a few hours ago and still living up to our team moto "Win or Lose, we're on the booze" !!

Ricky didnt just sign pics etc at the show grounds he signed autographs and took pictures all night in the hotel and was still signing on Monday morning while having breakfast. What a guy, absolute star !!

If anybody knows where the press photos etc of the day might be uploaded for viewing could they let me know. PHC images where at the event for a while but they don't have anything on their website yet. Thanks.

Hi Guys

I'll have some of the pics I took with the event report which will be going on BoxingRepublic.com, DiamondBoxing.com, HotBoxingNews.com, Pound4Pound.com, BritishBoxers.com, LondonBoxingTraining.co.uk, LondonBoxingGym.com plus others later today.

I will be setting up a full gallery of the 850 plus pics on LondonBoxingGym.com later in the week - which should also be on the all new UltrachemTKOGym.co.uk site shortly after.

By the way I'll also be sending each team a CD with all photos featuring them in high and low res - and I have plenty of Team Alio I promise (-;

Thanks guys

Cheers Rio, was a brilliant night/day/night/day/night for us, 72 hours on the Guiness with no sleep, like a dream come true

Met some great people that are behind a great charity doing superb work for kids that are in real need of support. We're back next year without a doubt. Super day, super organisation and super boxers to take time to come along and play/take part. Vinny Mitchel is a laugh a minute and Hatton is just a super star, what a guy, must have went home with more aches and pains than after a fight, he signed pictures all day and night. Superstar!

Hi Gareth

Mate, you're all superstars in my eyes. I'm proud to have met you all on Sunday and look forward to seeing you more in the future.

I'm going to sort Team Alio's photos out first. I will probably upload them on a special page on my PR website for you to download as well as put them on disc.

There are already some up on BoxingRepublic.com and LondonBoxingGym.com (news page)

Cheers

Rio
