MFC Study Support Centre

Presentation – Robert Huth (December 2008)

The Riverside Suite hosted the MFC Playing for Success project’s presentation evening on Tuesday December 9th. Students from primary and secondary schools from across Middlesbrough attended the award ceremony where their achievements were marked with certificated, trophies and special prizes.

The students were celebrating the end of a ten week literacy course where the football club has been the focus of their learning.

Making the evening even more memorable was Premiership star Robert Huth who presented the students with their awards. The Boro defender arrived to a hero’s welcome from the 150+ students, parents and teachers and later posed for pictures and signed autographs.

Martin Hedgley centre manager commented on the success of the evening. “Robert’s attendance capped off a very successful ten week course and helped make the awards evening very special. Having a Premiership star share in your success and celebrate your achievements is a great way to mark the end of the course.”

One excited students said, “The course was fun and we learned a lot but meeting Robert Huth was the best bit!”.

It wasn’t just the students that were excited though. One parent remarked, “My son has taken part in the Playing for Success course and has enjoyed coming every time. The children took us on a guided tour around the stadium last week and this week we all get to meet a Boro player!”.
