John Terry, King of Shaves 'Be a King' Football Competition, The Finals!
Earlier this year, we ran a competition for Saturday & Sunday League teams to enter into a competition to play in the 'Be a King' finals, and meet England & Chelsea skipper, John Terry. The event had to be postponed a couple of times due to John's playing commitments, firstly with Chelsea, then England, but finally today, in Cobham, four teams played in the King of Shaves team strip, with the chance to win the 'Be a King' trophy presented by John. The photo on the LHS shows JT, with my younger brother (and football fanatic) Pete.
Be sure to look out for a report on this event in the UK's favourite online football magazine, Catflap and iinterviews withi JT and more!
I was delighted three of my employees, Duncan, Chris & Dan played in the tournament too - they're pretty useful on the footy pitch, and many thanks to Simon Vingoe & Jenny Moore who tirelessly co-ordinated the event, from the early morning set-up, to dealing with a match injury to one of the players, which required an ambulance to be called.
Although our endorsement contract with John ended back in June, we enjoyed a great couple of years working together, and our online game, 'King of Defenders' is nearing its 50 millionth player since launch, one of the world's all time biggest playing 'advergames'.
John - best of luck with the remainder of the Premiership 2008-9 season, and I'm looking forward to you leading the England team to victory in the World Cup, South Africa 2010. Believe - we CAN win!
