The 'A' celebration

The 'A' celebration that is sweeping across football is based on the A-Star scheme to be launched this summer, which is aimed at encouraging young people to be inspired by role models who do not 'glamourise crime, guns or drugs'.

This project — motto 'if you dream it, you can achieve it' — is aimed at opening pathways into employment through sport by offering young people the chance to showcase their talents.

Co-founder Fitz Hall, the Wigan defender said: 'This is a great chance for professional footballers to truly give something back.'

England's Andrew Johnson, Micah Richards and Emile Heskey are among those involved.

The project statement says they are 'committed to working with young people and making a difference'.
