BYSA strike it lucky
Liverpool FC all-time record goalscorer Ian Rush was guest of honour at Birmingham Youth Sports Academy’s annual awards dinner – maintaining a VIP sporting tradition. This year’s event followed a successful
celebration last year when fellow Liverpool striker legend John Aldridge was VIP celebrity guest. The BYSA, a community group championing
grass roots football for children, held their ceremony at The Prestige Suite in Birmingham, hosted by BBC Football League presenter Manish Bhasin. Joining Ian Rush at this year’s high profile
celebration dinner were other sporting stars including Villa’s Mark Walters and Gary Shaw, WBA’s Cyrille Regis, cricketer Kabir Ali, boxers the Yafai brothers and Tasif Khan. And surprise guest on the night was the new
Royal ambassador for the BYSA, HRH Princess Katarina of Yugoslavia and Serbia, who said she was ‘delighted’ to attend the evening which supported her ongoing work. Auction items included memorabilia such as Muhammad Ali’s boxing glove, Pele and Maradona’s signed shirts and many more.
