Black History Month at Oakthorpe School - 04.10.2004

Manager Jackie Fearon was invited to speak about her role to Oakthorpe Primary School today, as part of Black History Month.  Accompanied by Dom Clarke and Samrawit Bereket from the first team, Jackie explained her experiences through her career and spelled out how young sports stars can go about preparing to make a go of their future.  

The school had done a lot of work on black sporting stars of the past and present and it is hoped some of them might become sporting stars of the future.

A question and answer session was held and some items were donated to the school for distribution amongst the children.

Tottenham Hotspur Ladies FC would like to thank Mr. Price (Head Teacher) for inviting the Ladies to attend and speak to the school.
