Jason and I travelled to Telford today… to be at the remembrance service for our former Team Mate Dalian Atkinson. This bench has been designed in his honour. It was an honour to be there for @IpswichTown and the Former Players Association 🙏🙏 pic.twitter.com/TgNnosSyvG
At first site it looks like a weird place for it, stuck away in some woods, when it might have been better outside a football ground. But, if you were wondering about that like I was, this news piece sets the context and also what else is involved in this initiative.
"The memorial bench is situated alongside Trench Pool in Telford, where Dalian spent his formative years honing his football skills. "
And it's linked to "The Dalian Atkinson Legacy Fund, which is being managed by Shropshire Community Foundation, will support local young people aged 5-25 to further their sporting talents and achieve their own goals and dreams".
