Manchester United Foundation and Sir Bobby Charlton Foundation have launched a community football project – Sir Bobby’s Street Reds – as a lasting legacy to the former Manchester United and England footballer.
Street Reds is a free football provision ran by Manchester United Foundation. Former Manchester United goalkeeper Alex Stepney attended the celebratory event to launch the new project in Sir Bobby’s name at Manchester Academy in Moss Side.
Sir Bobby’s Street Reds, which will be funded by the Sir Bobby Charlton Foundation, will run on a weekly basis, delivered by Manchester United Foundation coaches. The launch event saw over 60 young people from all different backgrounds come together to take part in a football tournament.
